This piece from Chris Trotter on the sale (or not) of land to overseas buyers is a classic. He's couched it in Medieval style, with knights, Kings, fuedal lords and monks and he's hit the target, bull's-eye!
"And what about the mad monks of Treasury – and their even more ascetic brothers in the Business Roundtable? Having compelled us all to wear the hair-shirt of deregulation and the flesh-biting cilice of free trade, they are still urging our leaders to surrender what’s left of New Zealand’s patrimony to the Holy Church of Globalisation."
It's very good.
