They're getting worse: http://www.hawkesbaytoday.co.nz/local/news/depression-despair-finds-pms-ear/3910178/ You know, I saw the headline "Depression Despair" and actually thought "Good on him, maybe he's doing something about mental health services, that's just the kind of value a Prime Minister can bring, getting the media to focus on tough issues."

You know, I saw the headline “Depression Despair” and actually thought “Good on him, maybe he’s doing something about mental health services, that’s just the kind of value a Prime Minister can bring, getting the media to focus on tough issues.”

Claims in Parliament today by Ross Robertson that the "honeymoon will wear off" seem ludicrous and somewhat despairing 15 months after the election. John Key is unlike any other PM in NZ history.
