New Zealand's Very Own Cause Celebre & Folkhero Rolled Into One: Ruminations Upon Kim Dotcom and the Kim Dotcom Saga

Vis-a-vis P.M. John Key: I concur completely with Newstalk ZB Morning Show host Mike Hosking's assessment of Mr Key's apology: that it was "genuine and decent...the proper and right thing to do"; and in regard to TV1 Headline News that he'd given "a rare apology", that was undoubtedly and all too sadly true, and yet at least he's given even just one, unlike a well-known predecessor of his; and yes, I'm - obviously - not including any of Ms Clark's saying "I'm sorry" to the Samoans and Chinese etc: all fair enough indeed, but hardly requiring great personal humility much less contrition on her part. And looking back, I do believe there were a few, if not half a dozen or so, such 'matters' on her part which did indeed warrant such.
