| 719042 | 2008-11-10 22:32:00 | As you are all having a pleasant reasoned thoughtful discussion here: Doped slugs' voted for Key The Dominion Post | Tuesday, 11 November 2008 New Zealanders have been lambasted in an Australian newspaper for showing all the reasoning of a "doped slug" in ditching Helen Clark for John Key. Jill Singer, writing in Melbourne's Herald Sun, said New Zealand's election was the antithesis of the dazzling event in the United States, comparing it to a domestic squabble over whose turn it was to put out the garbage. "As ... the world struggles with the excesses of capitalism and free-market worship, our dearly beloved neighbours suddenly think a former investment banker can make them ruch, as well as thuck," she wrote. Not even his family were spared: "As John Key beamed with unbridled self-satisfaction ... his wife and two children were left to shuffle nervously at the back of the stage like shags on a rock; his young son endearingly clad in shorts and runners, his daughter the image of a teenager on the verge of rebellion." Singer said Mr Key was Barack Obama stripped of charisma and vision. "This wasn't about desperately needed change, as in the US, but change for change's sake. "New Zealanders just got bored. "Instead of doing the sensible thing about it, like reading a good book or moving to Australia (which 11 per cent of Kiwis have already done) they decided to turn out in their tens and vote for a new government." Other world media were more reasoned in their reporting. The Independent in London said that New Zealand, like the US, had a "desire for political and generational change" and referred to Mr Key as "a baby- faced former currency trader and investment banker". The Telegraph and The Times focused on his mother being a Holocaust refugee, fleeing Austria in 1938. Israeli paper Ha'aretz reported on Mr Key's Jewish background and noted that his mother was an active member of the 5000-strong Jewish community in New Zealand. |
