Kia ora,

The word is Hubris. Always been a lot of that about, especially in politics. Pride, puffed up conceit, believing your public persona, thinking you’re invincible – you don’t have to go far to see it played out and then the inevitable happens… somewhere Aeschylus is smiling…

So – the inevitable fall, gossip goes on, backstabbing is revealed, rich people afraid their machinations have come to light, and now we have a commission announced by the Prime Minister. The white rabbit finally pulled out of the hat.

Mr Key made an interesting comment re something the Labour Party and the Greens want included in this Commission – ‘they should keep politics out of it’ he said.

Well hello Mr Prime Minister – this is politics…
