Mr Key has received a letter, via Labour MP Grant Robertson.The letter expresses concern about the epistler's mother, a sixty three year old woman apparently about to be made redundant from the Agriculture and Forestry Ministry.
In the letter, the woman says her usually "loving and vibrant" mother is now "depressed and anxious" after learning she is not likely to get one of the few vacancies left open.
"This has terrified her and she is in turmoil and worry about her future, something that a woman of her age does not need."
Her mother may have to leave her one-bedroom flat as she will no longer be able to afford the rent, apply for the unemployment benefit and state-funded accommodation.
Do you think that whatever woman is doing in the Agriculture and Forestry Ministry is mentally stimulating and emotionally rewarding?
Or has she been so conditioned to socialistic worker beehood that she cannot see time spent with her grandchildren might be the thing she should really be doing at her time of life.
A human being not a tiny cog in the machinery of state spending her declining years in meaningless drudgery.
Boy oh boy have the big Statists ever done a number on peoples heads.
