John Armstrong: Key's charity push stirs doubts - Politics - NZ Herald News

John Armstrong: Key's charity push stirs doubts - Politics - NZ Herald News: "John Key's worthy-sounding desire to imbue New Zealanders with a 'culture of giving' will be treated as no laughing matter by Labour and the Greens, however.

They will be highly sceptical. The Prime Minister's speech to Philanthropy New Zealand's annual conference yesterday will be interpreted by those parties as further evidence that the current National Government is hell-bent on reducing the role of the state - especially when placed alongside cuts in staffing of Government departments and ministries."
