A PM's Snigger

There are times when aggravation rises like a high in blood pressure.

Listening to an aggravating program on country/rural issues a guest was the Prime Minister.

With a relatively large audience that is preached to at times by an over confident host , it should be an opportunity to grill the head of New Zealand   with some searching questions about many rural issues that are a handbrake on progress in the sector. The Government is always a handbrake of course.

But no. This PM is let off with fun time. The idea is to play around and crack funnies while the country struggles to cope with a multitude of problems.

What irked me was a snigger. The host mentioned Regional Councils and all we heard from the PM was a snigger. An absolute insult .

It  explained  in one muttering that the PM was vacant when it came to knowledge about Regional Councils.

He would have had his head filled with  advice from 54 experts and suits that consult with their computers and fellow suits to spew out the spin that a PM parrots to media who have no credibility and are short of  knowledge on the matter concerned.

It actually made me mad.

It is typical of Government these days. It is not the people that count it is the invisible bureaucrats and autonomous office  dwellers that seek to guide us to nirvana .Trouble is they have no idea how to get there.

I have no respect for a snigger.
