Thank you for posting it. Don Brash was a true social and economic liberal. It is to New Zealand's detriment that he just missed out on becoming Prime Minister in 2005. Great interview.

Don Brash was a true social and economic liberal.

It is to New Zealand’s detriment that he just missed out on becoming Prime Minister in 2005.

Do you really think Brash would have done what's best for New Zealand as a whole? I'm pretty sure if he was at the wheel, lower socio-economic Kiwis would be getting shafted to look after those "hard working" white color types. Might makes right... cavemen.

Don Brash is a legend. Its a shame that now, with the state of the economy in total disarray, he's not still in Parliament to make a difference. NZ would've been hard pressed to find anyone else as trusted, sensible and smart as he was during the 15 or so years he was governor of the Reserve Bank and, like our parents generation, we owe him a huge debt of gratitude for that. The current government is mainly focussed on being popular, not focussed on making the tough calls that NZ needs to make now so that we're not all screwed in the future when our parents are retired and we're paying the bills.
