- Description
A couple are shopping in a supermarket. The woman says that 'Standard and Poor says the country's high debt level is our fault' and her husband replies 'I was thinking of taking out a mortgage to buy a block of cheese'. Context - New Zealand is a highly indebted country with a high exchange rate. The block of cheese comment relates to a joke made by John Key when Labour announced a tax cut in the 2008 budget of $16 which Key pointed out would buy a block of cheese. Quote 'Labour will get a revival before going to the polls, it thinks, having given the average worker of New Zealand a family sized block of cheese. That is what the tax cut is worth'. (NZH May 23 2008)
