But what I'm worried about is not his vision; it's his hindsight, because when it comes to next year, when he's sitting there, going "What am I going to do in an election year when I don't have enough money just to keep pace with the cost of living and inflation?", what's he going to do then? Is he going to cut costs? Unlikely. Is he going to tax more? Well, Damien O'Connor would like to see that, because let's not forget his comments earlier this evening about how proud he is of taxing hard-earning Kiwis more. The most likely scenario is that he is going to borrow more money. Someone give this man a patch—this guy is addicted to spending. He is out of control. It's fuelling inflation, it's driving up costs for Kiwis, and the real pain will be felt by those homeowners in the next 12 months.
