One I can recollect was John Keys proposal to establish a scaled international financial services industry in NZ, it was never going to be starter and Rod Oram simply pointed out why this was so. Sure enough nothing happened, for the simple fact it didn't make sense for large financial services provider to relocate/expand here, just one example.
You seemed rather grumpy with me recently regarding my post about Crosby Textor. My rationale was a rather simple one. As a shareholder in A2 Corporation I believe its on an exciting growth trajectory, consequently I believe John Key should do the proper , and patriotic thing and disengage with an organisation that is developing a strategy that could, it could be argued, hurt/derail A2s interests and get political strategy advice from another PR company.
