From John Key to New Zealand

Greetings from John Key

I have had a wonderful time in Hawaii. Many of our cabinet have had an equally fantastic holiday period, taking off for fabulous holidays overseas, ultimately all paid for by you. But with the new political year looming, I thought I would take time for a little reflection about how things might be impacting on you.

For you, last year was probably hard. For middle class New Zealanders and for those poorer folk amongst you, you have suffered the erosion of your wages through the hike in GST and related higher prices. Ever increasing petrol prices at the pumps and higher transport costs generally have probably impacted on you severely. Food costs must seem positively galactic to you all and let's not talk about power prices. Many of you will have suffered the loss of jobs. Parents will have worries over school closures. Many Christchurch people might be wondering if your homes will ever be fixed or rebuilt and if you live on the west coast, you might wonder if your boys will ever come out of that hole at Pike River. Some will have concerns over asset sales, TPP and further strangling of social services and benefits. The elderly will have worries that there has been no inflation adjustments of their pensions lately of any consequences and that some health services for you have been severely slashed. Our youth will have their own worries, that when they leave school there may not be a place at university for them because we prefer high paying foreign students, and that there my be no jobs for you anyway, no matter what you decide to do.

I just want you all to know, I am thinking about all these things and what it comes down to is this, the bottom line is, we're all right Jack so we don't give a fuck 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Happy new year everyone,
