I know politicians love to play "well I made THAT statement while wearing a different silly hat" games but it's just a bit egregious for the person who *also* announced NINE BILLION IN NEW MILITARY SPENDING to whinge about how "the country isn't earning enough" to pay teachers and nurses fairly

A Senior Cabinet minister issuing "open letters" to the public is some amazing third-term lost-touch don't-understand-the-machinery-of-government can't-even-control-the-media-narrative-any-more stuff and it definitely, positively proves they are NOT panicked and running scared and out of ideas
