As per usual the media has put a slant on it by offering a small snippet of what John Key ACTUALLY said. As evidenced on the link you provided to Stuff, he said that Carter should be made to provide a medical certificate as is standard practice for every OTHER kiwi (you know… us people who DON’T earn $2000 a week from the public coffers?) has to if they have 3 or more days off. I’m pretty sure there’s doctors out there capable of diagnosing mental illness, right?

I think the whole thing is laughable at best, and while I disagree with Carter being off for months on his publicly funded “sick” leave, I agree with his sentiment that Phil Goff won’t lead Labour to a win. If the man focussed more on ACTUAL politics than bagging every decision National made then I (and maybe other NZers) might believe he has any sort of credibility as the opposition leader.

Picked up your rant via Facebook incase you’re wondering!
