And so this is Thursday and it's already time for the bumper edition because tomorrow I will be taking the day off.
It will begin with me wishing Karren a happy birthday. Then she will wish me one. And we will have a very nice day together, the 32nd since that day in 1989 when she was looking at the shortlist for speech writers for the Minister of Justice and thought, How about that! this one has the same birthday as me.
Ask me anything about the 1990 budget; we were right in the middle of that one, the two of us working in the PM’s office turning out a whole bunch of speeches and press releases saying, yes, things are bad, but better days are coming and btw we’re selling Telecom for three billion dollars and look at all the things we’re going to do be able to do with that money.
