We have another classic from Nicola No Boats. She's credited as the "architect" of the Nats' FamilyBoost scheme intended to subsidise childcare for struggling families.
But the bulk of the funding is going to the better-off and poorer families are missing out. Trouble is, the scheme was never grounded in reality: an economic policy devised without using any actual figures. It's another Willis ballsup, as Amelia Wade explains in the Sunday Star Times.
"... a scheme built on guesswork, launched in haste, and propped up by numbers officials knew were shaky."
Does anybody still believe the myth that National are better economic managers?
