What skills does he have to justify $330,000 a year plus the many extras? Whenever Neves produces any resemblance of a statement of the nation’s finances they are fertiliser for seeds of doubt he and his Minister Mark Brown has any fiscal competencies. The invention of their brand of financial gibberish is rightly and best labelled Nenevanomics. Neves‘ latest attempt to hood wink the public that the state of our sovereign funds is in a good space with the further outlook sunshine and roses continues to reflect he is drowning in a cesspool of incompetence’s.
