The India FTA seems a very good example of our PM being out of his depth, but pretending he knows it all. He was determined to get this deal done to bask in the glory of a good deal. Didn't he wonder, even for a short time, how easy and relatively quickly this deal was to complete, when other countries (and NZ) have been trying for years? Or was he so desperate for a deal that he deliberately ignored the small print?
