Why not retire to Fiji, Winston?

Karl du Fresne  has written a letter to Winston Peters suggesting he retires to Fiji.

Dear WinstonSo you’re in Fiji for a few days then.

Nice place, eh? Balmy temperatures. Shimmering blue sea. Golden sand. Gently rustling palms. Colourful shirts and gleaming smiles. Hardly a journalist in sight. A bloke could be pretty happy living in a tropical paradise like this.

Look, I’d hate you to take this the wrong way, but really … think about it.

You’ve lost Tauranga and don’t seem to stand much show of winning it back. Your most fervent supporters are – how can I put this delicately? – dying.


There’s more and if you want a laugh you should pop over to Karl’s place and read it.
