Press Release: New Zealand Government
Hon Dr Michael Cullen
Deputy Prime Minister
28 November
2006 Media Statement
Key all style, no
substance
Deputy Prime Minister Michael Cullen today
described John Key's first speech as National leader as
shallow, simply being a collection of platitudes with no
substance.
"The speech tells us what he is not. He is not
Don Brash. It doesn't tell us what he is, nor is it
consistent with his previous comments.
"For example, he
told the media previously that the first thing he thinks
about in the morning is what happened to his Merrill Lynch
shares overnight.
"Mr Key has yet to demonstrate any
substance despite having spent much of the last four years
thinking about being the leader of the National Party.
"He
has either got no policies or he is following Dr Brash's
strategy as outlined in Nicky Hager's book that he knows
only full well what his policies are, but he is not telling
us.
"The Labour-led government over the next two years
will be focusing on substance, not spin," Dr Cullen
concluded.

For reasons set out below, it maybe never will. But it won’t be for wont of trying. Reportedly, Spotify’s music library contains 70 million tracks and it adds 60,000 more each day. By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
