Re: Kiwi complacency
Never ascribe to malice, that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. Or in this case, rank incompetence.
NZ's media is painfully amateurish to watch at any time. They were just as feeble in dealing with Helen Clarke as they are with Key. There's no conspiracy here, they're just idiots.
