The Kim Dotcom / John Banks Saga

What fun!  When was the last time you had so much fun at the expense of a politician?

Kim Dotcom might not be the squeaky-cleanest guy on earth but as far as I can see he has done New Zealand nothing but good.  One cannot say the same for what NZ has done to him.

What did Kim Dotcom do for New Zealand?

• He brought in a shitload of cash
• He hired loads of people to tart up the mansion and do other stuff. 
• He provides jobs - and Lord knows, NZ sure needs more of them!
• He gave Auckland a very decent fireworks display. 
• His neighbors love him. 
• He has done NZ no harm. (well, he did drive a wee bit fast and scare a few horses)
• H'e provided more fun with politicians than anyone else has done so far, and on that basis alone, we should be thankful

What did New Zealand do for Kim Dotcom?

• NZ  refused to let him buy property in New Zealand even though they had given him residency -All because one particularly uptight politician came over all righteous.
• At the behest of USA, NZ swarmed all over his place with armed police - 73 of them, I believe. And all to arrest 1 man!  Talk about Keystone Cops.
• NZ chucked him in jail. 
• NZ refused bail until the appeals went up the food chain and he finally got a judge who had a few marbles.
• NZ seized all his assets (this only doing other New Zealanders harm as they couldn't get paid for their work for him - how dumb is that!)
• John Banks, esteemed only politician for the near defunct Act party, who was all over him like a rash before the Yanks made their move, suddenly dropped him like a hot brick.
• The Prime Minister, John Key, in whose electorate Kim Dotcom lives, maintains he'd never heard of the guy until the day before the police raid.  Yeah right, John.

I hope Kim Dotcom stays, though I can't see alot of reasons why he should want to, apart from the great Kiwi people , the great scenery, etc etc. (Message to Kim: - Never let the bastards grind you down!)

I would have thought Kim Dotcom is exactly the sort of person New Zealand needs to attract - a smart, larger-than-life character with ideas and cash. What's not to like?

But this is New Zealand, folks. You know how it is here. NZ  keeps chucking out good folk for small reasons and keeping the no hopers who use up our welfare and health resources and the ones who use NZ as a staging post hoof off to Australia as soon as they can.
