Panicked Labour executes U-turn on road funding
National Party Finance spokesman John Key is pleased that Michael Cullen has executed a U-turn on road funding, but suspects it has more to do with Labour's poor polling.
"It's certainly a convenient way for Michael Cullen to disguise the fact that he's bungled the numbers again, and collected a lot more tax than he was expecting," says Mr Key.
