The Monday Quote - 11/8/08

There were a few to choose from this week, but this supplementary question from Bill English to Dr Michael Cullen stood out, showing, as it did Labour's hypocricy on debt as a percentage of GDP.

"Hon Bill English: Can the Minister explain why, when Government gross sovereign issue debt was 30 percent, he said it was prudent; when it was 27 percent he said it was prudent; when it was 25 percent he said it was prudent; when it got under 20 percent he said it was prudent; but when someone says it might be 22 percent, he says that is hilariously, ridiculously reckless?"
