Obscene Politicking

Yesterday NZ and the world were treated to the most obscene display of politicking from our Dear Leader. After one of her government's SOE's pulled the plug for tardy payment of the power bill and the mother of the family subsequently died, she spent most of the previous 24 hours pillorying the management of said SOE for their supposed part in this tragedy.

She then had the gall to try to slip quietly mid afternoon into the living room of the grieving family, supposedly wanting to be unoticed by the media. This action was not unnoticed by the media, as the living room has been full of media since the poor lady passed on and the media were advised of her ETA prior. This cold calculating stunt, over the woman's body, was extremely perverse, trying to gain politcal points. This person is the leader of our corrupt government, which is bereft of inspiration and in a tailspin as recent polls suggest imminent meltdown.

The management of the SOE, while being savaged from all quarters, especially from various MPs and Dear Leader, have stood their ground on this matter, apparently having followed well established procedure as used by all power suppliers. They have given very level headed responses to the situation, even taking the trouble to express their remorse directly to the family in a culturally sensitive manner and today express their apology.

There are many questions to be asked to resolve this matter so it never happens again. I for one, never wish to witness a NZ Prime Minister or any public figure resorting to such odious and devious tactics, for possible political gain.
