Student loans was the classic all-time electoral bribe. Immediately made many people substantially better off, reduced incentive to pay it back and little chance of a govt back-tracking due to the high risk of political suicide. Costing the country billions......

They sure were and now billions of dollars unrecoverable with graduated students overseas with no forwarding address and laughing all the way to their Swiss bank but I must admit that National did little to help with the growing tidal epidemic of meth and the mental health problems that's creating.

Sad but National are becoming mini me trumpettes down under. Say something often enough and it becomes gospel is the tactic.
The Employment Relations Amendment bill is winding the clock back to the grim days of the 1970's, what an absolute lie. The winter of discontent ,a spray and walk away falsehood.
National are dragging this country into the gutter by hook or by crook. It won't work,The coalition is working at inclusiveness and collaboration and discussion, with a few learners mistakes and there will be more , par for the course. Negativity and good old down ramping is Nationals dark art. Who wants to be a part of that.Are national blue, green, blue/green, turquoise or plain vanilla wadeable knightshade black?

I see Mr Bridges on the telly referred to more 'stealth cuts' on the way. With a large and experienced opposition they might not stay too stealthy.

Bridges is the true spray and walk away spin man. wonder who his spin agency is, crosby/textor? Or a Mr joyce.

Well that was a valuable addition to the discussion.

Thanks , appreciate that. I guess Bridges honeymoon period is well over, must feel like the Sword of Damocles is hanging over him, with him not making any dents just spraying out fiction as fact. Judith will be hovering too with that cheshire cat smile and then the Prime Minister will be back before long, maybe if someone sent him some berroca?

Yeap just throw all those people under the bus too. Plenty of money to pay Winston Peter's $900 bribe for his pet Island projects and Shane Jones pet regional development fund of $1b and while we're at it another $2.3b for Orion replacements. No extra money to help the tens of thousands of P addicts and mental health needy though. Plenty of "logic" with this new Government eh.
