At first I smirked then I realised it really isn’t funny…just sad, very sad.
Plenty more democracy to be stolen too.
The reputation that took so many politicians and citizens to build, trashed by one man, our PM. Whataguy. Re-building takes much longer, if at all.
Still, when you are lying by the pool, sipping cocktails, in Hawaii, why worry? In fact, I expect Key is “fairly relaxed about it”
If anyone thinks this doesn’t matter … imagine for example, being an honest Nigerian banker.
We won’t realise the full “benefit”of Key’s legacy for a while, as usual people don’t appreciate things until they are gone. International reputation for integrity is worth a lot more than we realise, and international reputation for corruption and a haven for the 1% will impact negatively.

Up in smoke, Key style- we are broke Key you bastard, that’s your legacy
It’s a shocking sadness to me what New Zealand has become.
Under a showboat. Who’s also an AB. Somehow the showboat’s taking on water though. Shouldn’t be long.
I remember being told at a public meeting of Transparency NZ in Wellington a few years ago that NZ was the least corrupt country and that we didn’t have any corruption to measure!
