Quote of the Day - 7 July 2012

From John Key's speech at the Menzies Research Centre John Howard Lecture on Thursday night comes this gem as the PM talked about the close ties between New Zealand and Australia:

In your time of need we also gave you one of our best rugby coaches – Robbie Deans.

I hope that makes you more competitive, because from the time I became Prime Minister in late 2008, the head-to-head record between our national rugby teams reads All Blacks 9 – Wallabies 2.

I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions about that.
