PM Ponders Issues 'Within the Beltway'
PM Ponders Issues 'Within the
Beltway'
This afternoon's post cabinet press conference was a godsend for those interested in news the Prime Minister considers is of interest to only a select group of citizens – namely those citizens of Aotearoa that continue Question Time to be the hi-light of their week's entertainment - 'beltway dwellers'.
If you are in fact one of those citizens and want to find out just what the Prime Minister's reply was to further questions regarding Mr Taito Philip Field then perhaps you could be a dweller in the hypothetical land of 'beltway'.
Once sated by your regular Taito Philip Field fix you may then need to know some more news about a draft Auditor-General's report and the way political parties spend taxpayer's money promoting themselves. Also covered in some detail was the issue within the general political party spending issue – the continuing saga of the 'pledge card'.
Listen to the Prime Minister's press conference and judge for yourself just where you exist on the inner/outer beltway axis
