1. After she had been made Minister of Finance, Nicola Willis was telling anyone with a microphone OMG they've crashed the economy you totally won't believe the numbers we’re finding. Was this borne out by the actual Treasury numbers published this week?
a. Totally. Nicola can read a budget like nobody’s business.
b. LOL. Not even. Half-year financial update reported the deficit is $1.1b lower than forecast
2. The answer is b. Given those numbers, what’s an appropriate thing to say to a Minister of Finance who was going they've crashed the economy you totally won't believe the numbers we’re finding.
