No one will have been more surprised than Bill English to sit in a Sydney hotel yesterday listening to Australian business leaders talk openly about their clear case of "New Zealand envy".Political leaders are frequently feted offshore for policy choices which earn them a pasting at home.But the frank admiration across the Tasman for English's economic policies is something that has not been displayed by Australian power-brokers since this country was in the grip of Rogernomics and Bill Birch's labour market reforms.It has certainly been a clear confidence boost for the New Zealand powerbrokers who have been in Sydney for the eighth Australia-New Zealand Leadership Forum.
This is certainly a confidence vote from Australia's movers and shakers. There is no place for lolly-scrambles in policy at the moment, and Bill Englsh's conservative and austere management is being seen as tht eright medicine for New Zealand moving forwrd.

Can you see what market forces think of your shit policies, righties? Can you see how your lies about unions and economics and education and every other thing under the sun have been utterly exposed?
The rot started with the fourth Labour (1st ACT) government. These wasteful destructive policies must be abandoned wholesale before anything will change. The next government must aggressively reject and reverse the revolting agenda they will inherit, before the right-wing remakes New Zealand in its own image: stupid, afraid and delusional.
Anonymous sounds exactly like one of those frothing at the mouth gutless coward leftards, who whine into the cybersphere at the SUB-standard KS.
