That was Then, This is Now #29 – Joyce’s $11.7 billion hole – goneburger!
.

“Billions of dollars extra cash that are there that they could dip into“, eh?
It would appear that Ms Kaye has inadvertently ‘sunk’ Steven Joyce’s claims of Labour’s $11.7 billion “hole” made during last year’s election campaign.

Pretty hard to “keep the buggers honest” when the media are muzzled.

So many media…
So little time to crush them all…
