Hypocrisy!?

Clutches pearls

Hypocrisy is for the poors, when you're rich it's just good business.

You legend - that's a great find!

Then again, i suspect they've run out of wiggle room:

Instead, the Government should bring discipline to its own spending, dump expensive pet political projects like Auckland Light Rail, and focus on getting infrastructure built more efficiently.

It's hard to see how these can be done in tandem (without something ridiculous like privatising infrastructure to fund it all):

National remains committed to reducing the income tax you pay, building and repairing the infrastructure New Zealand needs and managing government finances responsibly
