How cynical is that?

Just off Newsroom;

Rates Probe? - The Prime Minister says it may be time for MPs to hold an inquiry into local government rates.

Isn't that the most cynical move? Of course the PM wants to shut down Rodney Hide's bill so is giving NZ First the nod.

Why? Because it's central government's aim to shove as much onto local government as it can over the next few years. They call it devolution. I'd call it passing the buck big time except.....they will hold on to the taxpayer's buck while the council takes ever more of the ratepayer's.

Did anyone expect anything but the most blatant form of manipulation from that woman? Hey, folks, Kiwis elected her and now are getting what they begged for. And getting it good and hard.
