PM electorate office fire bombed
















At 3am this morning a fire bomb was thrown at the PMs electorate office in Kumeu north west of Auckland. One can only assume some one's frustration have boiled over


and you would have to wonder if this has something to do with the PM ignoring the results of the smacking referendum? New Zealand has a very passive record when it comes to political violence and this sort of behaviour is somewhat of a surprise, although it has happened in the past when Helen Clark's electorate office was attacked with an axe. While we can't condone this sort of violent behaviour you have to wonder if we will see more of this type of activity given overseas experience which New Zealand eventually seems to follow.

The answer seems to be to increase security... rather than listen!

What a shame things have come to this, if only politicians did what they were elected to do! It’s about time John Key especially listened to what the majority of New Zealanders want.

There is lot happeningon on this glob and public is getting ideas if they don't get their way, things get ugly. On one hand government need to listen to majority and on the other hand they really need to be tough on home grown terrorists. For criminals every state is a police state.
