Willis Burying Bad News with RBNZ Governor Announcement

Commenting on today’s planned announcement of the next Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor , Taxpayers’ Union spokesman James Ross said:

“There’s only one word for timing the announcement of a new RBNZ Governor to take coverage away from today’s Long-Term Fiscal Statement: Cynical.”

“Nicola Willis says she wants the public to have a serious conversation about the long-term challenges facing New Zealand. So why try to bury bad news?”

“Rather than pulling strings to keep the Government’s dire finances off the front pages, all of Nicola Willis’ focus should be on balancing the books.”
