Anybody who had read 'The Hollow Men” will not be surprised at the massive changes which John Key will make during this second term.
The plan, developed in 2005, was to promise to not make various unpopular changes during the first term in office. Business leaders were advised of this in advance, so behaved in their labour relations, during that first term. Now senior executives will be paid big bonuses to get rid of regular workers from their companies, and replace them with contractors, who will have no security.
The Christchurch earthquakes, Pike River and the Rena shipwreck all made matters more difficult during Key's first term, but the triumph in the Rugby World Cup distracted people. Had all the electors read 'The Hollow Men” by Nicky Hager, then I suspect that Key would never have been re-elected. His plan is to make his buddies, who can afford to buy the privatised SEOs, even richer in the next three years. Many of them will do so via Family Trusts, so that they appear to not be personally implicated.
Make no mistake the ordinary people of Aotearoa/New Zealand will be robbed by the Robber Barons in the next three years.
