As a Kiwi, all of this has no personal impact on me.
But I seem to remember...

Not long ago some the auto industry were asking your government to bail them out of financial trouble.
Some of the auto executives had the temerity to turn up in their corporate jets; and were told to sell those off now, and to live within their means before coming cap-in-hand pleading for assistance.

Your country's going broke...running huge budget deficits.

Wouldn't it seem like a good idea for the politicians to practice what they preach?

And sell those 'corporate jets'?

Just wondering...
