Oldies hoodwinked

I thought Winston had actually driven a tough bargain by getting to agree to increase the rate of form 65% to 66%. But alas the increase is only for three years!

Superannuitants would actually have got more from National's reduction package, and it would have been permanent.

When Tamihere talks about how smart Cullen was in being able to con his coalition partners, is what he means. Cullen knows a permanent increase in the rate is unsustainable, so he appears to agree to it, but in the fine print it is only for one term.

should feel very betrayed.
