It's been a while since I've seen anything from Bryan Bruce. He has aged, but at least is still around. This was like his others, covering a variety of aspects from different angles but overall too lightweight. A good introduction or summary for people who aren't aware, but no depth or answers.

For God's sake get this economy running properly NZ, it's not rocket science.
