BREAKING NEWS: Priorities...

  • $28K plus to keep fed and watered for a couple of months
  • A veritable army of doctors on call 24x7
  • Access to the finest fare and drugs as required
  • World media watching every dump
  • Free overseas trip with entourage courtesy of taxpayer
  • Diplomatic immunity - no passport required
  • Breathless reporting on Te News tonight

Yes, we
here in New Zealand have our priorities firmly on track.

Now only if our children had the same attention each with $180K pa.

Yes - exactly.

The key to it, of course, is sentimentality.
We live in an age of bugger-all empathy and fellow-feeling, but we're awash with sickly media-generated sentimentality.
And people are too damn ignorant to know the difference.
