Jim Anderton has just drawn Parliament’s attention to this quote from John Key in October 2008.

National leader John Key said told a press conference this morning that if National is elected and does a “half decent job” at growing the economy, then increasing GST and the top tax rate will not be necessary

Now that is a serious level of self- reflection!

UPDATE: Its been pointed out that a hat tip is due to Jake Quinn over at Life and Politics was onto this earlier this afternoon.
