Slashing public spending to hoard our tax money to buy votes at election time.

Meanwhile causing a skills shortage and a collapse in services to the community.

longy, its not a coincidence that private industry shunned him, and the future fund shunned him.

He got lucky as being in the right place at the right time. Gee, tax revenues doubled because of the boom, and the political climate was right for him to be able to sell off heaps of public assets.

He got lucky, and should just retire gracefully, instead of tarnishing his record further.

immediately after he quit he was offered a $2M/yr job as chariman of a UK firm (forget which now). which he rejected.

you have a funny definition of 'shunned'. I wish I was 'shunned' like he has been!
