True road game meaning a nonneutral court . Not saying it was a super challenging environment . <| sep |> You ' re a liar <| sep |> Better than being legally required to have our heads up our arses . <| sep |> I don ' t agree with everything he does either but we ' re lucky to have him . Why are we lucky to have him ? Cullen did an excellent job an left NZ in a very good position with NZ external debt at a very low level , without this we would be in a much worse position . A position that allowed Bill to borrow a massive amount of money . Imagine if we went into rescission now . Bill has followed the neoliberal policies by the book . Borrowed money , tried trickle down economics giving the top tax bracket a cutwhich hasn ' t worked in the past and didn ' t this time . They have funding freezes and cut backs in place . Privatisation , they sold of 49 % of some very valuable power assets for way less then he promised us . He has failed to take action with the housing crisis and left it to the RBNZ to try and fix it with their macro economic tools which has helped it skew further . Graham Wheeler has even fired shots at them for their lack of inaction . The magical Rock Star economy is dues to the escalating house prices wealth and record immigration . If we remove these two factors our actual growth is the small single digits , there is still plenty of NZ business folding due the dying domestic manufacturing sector . Not trying to bum everyone out , but we are lucky to have him is a but of a stretch
