Working Groups a Waste of Time

So we were given the Tax Working Group and Now the 2025 Working Group:

Both a waste of time, the tax working group is yet to actually suggest anything the Government is willing to do:

And it seems the 2025 close the gap working group will do any better if not fair worse:

Basically so far everything that has come from the tax working group the Government has shot down:

And after the summary report that was released by the 2025 working group much of what they would like to see happen is not going to happen:

Which before I rip that report apart, begs the question: why have the groups to start off with then: The job of the Minister and the Caucus is to Develop Policy and Legislation: Its great to have a working group as these can help come up with ideas and steer complex problems and solutions:

But if they Government is not willing to take up the ideas then its a waste of time: Or the Minister is a waste of time, as someone is not doing their job: We can all get ideas from some where: but why the hell am I paying a Minister and the stupid group:

These groups are seriously going to hurt John Key - as in the end they seem a waste of time if he doesnt do what they say, in the end he is just a wimp and is pandering to voters, if you were never going to do what they said then waste your time getting them in to start off with:

The way they were brought in, as a key idea and a way to stimulate ideas has quickly fizzled out: As many line the dole cues and look for opportunities it saddens me to see us struggle while these Professional Welfareocrats milking the system to get paid and known is crazy:

In terms of the report it was disgusting: A Congestion Tax: Like we need another taqx right now: Lowering the top tax rate, which I sometimes fit into depending on how productive I am at the time, we need across the board lowering of taxes: A mass sell off of public assets: Was all we got, I could have come up with better ideas that might actually work:

Selling Assets is a good idea, Government is in the business of tax and regulation not owning companies and shares: But there is a right way to go about doing it, floating on the local market, selling off parts to local authorities and selling parts to strategic partners such as Dubai Aero Space in terms of Auckland Airport:

It was a typical Don Brash report and we expected nothing better than that:

This report though is the exact reason Don never won, he never come close, ever:

Don is now a hazbeen slothing around trying to get any bit of light he can, the way I have seen him at Party Functions and Dinners, swanning around waiting for his cue, where he says the same old thing is a joke:

Had Don actually produced a decent report that had substance and credibility then he may have redeemed himself, but in this case - Sorry Don you blew your last chance: Someone please bury this Dinosaur before he gets us all extinct:

Don Brash should join the ACT Party:
