Just as the Wellington High School children wouldn't eat the healthy food mandated by government, neither will they pick up a bat and ball if they don't want to, which is the assumption underlying John Key's new big idea - spending more on sports equipment and sports clubs.
What this observation illustrates is that New Zealand under National will differ little from New Zealand under Labour. All National is promising is better management.
But as National have spent as much time in government as Labour for the past forty years of steady decline in personal responsibility and prosperity, the prospect fills me with little joy. All we are going to get is a switch from Nanny Red to Nanny Blue.

Yes, I tend to agree. Labour are gone, but Labour-lite are coming in. We need real and honest change, not just light rhetoric, and that is what we are getting. Where are the strong, charismatic leaders from yesteryear? Parliament at present reminds me of a wobbling jelly. Personal responsibility? Oh yes, I remember that!
