Kate Hawkesby: Govt's reading the room, expect more announcements

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · Sep 28, 2021 · 1m

Have you noticed the announcement blitz the Government is on ever since John Key’s piece got massive coverage? Hit a nerve anyone? I found it amusing how on the one hand, they called it insulting and simplistic, while on the other hand saying they were implementing a lot of his ideas.

So, which is it? Simplistic and insulting, or good enough for you to go ahead with?

Either way, they’ve been dragging the chain on the ideas for so long, that if anything, at least his piece elicited some action.

Because this Government is reactive, it hates bad press. It'll be alarmed to have had a swing taken…
