It sounds like one of Helen Clarke's 'sackings', whereby she'll be back in a few months.

Good to see Meka the Muss is gone. Jacinda finally grow a pair or just getting too untenable? Having her there on the back benches may still play into the opposition hands though. The Handley/Curren/Ardern unholy trinity is not going to go away in a hurry either. Luckily for princess stardust, she can go gloat about some more refugees at the UN this weekend.
Mega Fightery might still have some more challenges coming when Cindy gets back...

Doing some research found this piece of poetry by Ronald Meek. Was first published in 1940 and things don’t seem to be changed much since those times.
An M.P.’s Life for Me
Hi diddle dee dee
An M.P.s life for me
You get the run of Bellamy’s
And pleasant trips across the sea
Hi diddle dee di
You’ve got to learn to lie
And if your wife or mother lacks
The wherewithal to back the hacks
You just increase the income tax -
An M.P.s life for me
Hi diddle dee dee
An M.P.’s life for me
You get a car that calls at four
The petrol coupons by the score -
Hi diddle dee do
You ought to join the show
The bars are open after six
And if you are landed in a fix
You blame it on the Bolsheviks -
An M.P.s life for me
Hi diddle dee dee
An M.P.s life for me
You catch the strikers on the hip
By bringing in a censorship -
Hi diddle dee daw
You influence the Law
And if the people don’t obey
In gaol you lock them all away
Except of course the B.M.A -
An M.P.s life for me
Ronald Meek
Meek was an interesting character.
Truckometer looking good too

To be fair, any leader of a small country is only going to be of international interest if they have some novelty value. Unless there's some human interest angle it's not a story, who cares what a small country has to say..get that.. just wish when I go to NYC did not have to constantly explain the oddity that is our leaders...at least the last one was easier to explain away...and you have to soften the kiwi accent if you want to be taken seriously at the UN and around there...Key never cared for that as well...MFAT must try with our leaders but not listened to!!??
Not sure what your point is Raz.
Meanwhile the positivity continues.
Growth returns to lending, quarterly banking survey shows
The rebound in bank fortunes seemed to be at odds with the slide in business sector sentiment, he said.
"It will be interesting to see how the next couple of quarter's results behave as there are contradictory indicators - with, most notably, business confidence still down while other indicators are more positive."
