A tale of two Christmas speeches

Yesterday was the final sitting day in Parliament. In accordance with tradition there were speeches from the leaders marking the end of the political year.

First there was Jacinda …

Then there was Simon …

He spoke for twice as long as [everyone else apart from] Jacinda and must have claimed two speaking slots. He would have been better sticking with just one.

The difference could not be more stark between the two. Focussed, uplifting and concentrating on the big picture verses shrill, nit picking and sweating the small stuff to try and divert away from his own inadequacies.
