The comparison between Willis & Richardson isn't "lazy", like Thomas says (oh the irony) – it's because the current govt is using the same playbook of the National of 1991, blaming the previous govt's out of control spending as an excuse to cut and privatise. It's call a history lesson, dickhead.

Journalists in powerful positions like NZ Herald's Thomas Coughlan continue to whitewash the impact Ruth Richardson's budgets had on NZ, blaming her "speed" for the "generational recoil", like it was inevitable. Here's a summary from Wikipedia, which doesn't have to take calls from the TPU.
![Wikipedia: "A 2015 Treasury report said that inequality in New Zealand increased in the 1980s and 1990s but has been stable for the last 20 years[9] although another 2015 article said that New Zealand's rate of rise of inequality had been the highest in the OECD, and that New Zealand's inequality had previously been low by OECD standards.[10] The 1991 budget had profound social effects, child poverty rose from 15% in 1990 to 29% in 1994 while violent crime peaked between 1990 and 1997.[11][12] Income inequality also accelerated, New Zealand's GINI index rose from 0.30 in 1990 to 0.33 in 1996 and thereafter 0.34 at the turn of the century.[13] Poorer New Zealanders saw their standard of living fall from their 1984 level.[14] Unemployment also remained high for much of the decade, from 11% in 1991 to 6% in 1996 and then up again to 8% following the Asian Financial Crisis.[15]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qww25tudku2ftgzkp2hxzvjl/bafkreigw7x5y5yczku3qw3kdpkfvbqufv7a5eondtjforhidboygp6gj5e@jpeg)
