I have always voted National, but I think Mr Key is a heartless banker, anyone that could make light of a man trying to harm himself is sick in the head. He was trying to score political points, you could tell from the Video he was in the wrong, becuase he curled up like an embarrassed little schoolkid. Not the behavior of a Prime Minister of New Zealand. Hope this government is gotten rid of. Don't like labour to much either, but think each party should get a term in Government to moderate against the other stuffing the country totally.

Key has squealed and run behind someone's skirts. He took a foul shot then ran. Could it be he knows he will be facing more than just questions about how he and his cabinet have been passing policies and emergency legislation, left right and centre that have profoundly negatively affected the country to the point people are making desperate actions in protest. He will also have to answer why he was quick to deflect a serious incident that risked other lives into a personal jibe of a sick nature at the opposition then deny it despite video evidence.
