Dear Sir,
I thought the [would be] Emperor had no clothes; until I looked a little closer and discovered quite an ensemble of recycled rather faded gear and a borrowed suit which while well tailored, look as ill-fitting and uncomfortable to the wearer as damp horse hair. The borrowed suit originally red had recently been dyed blue to give it a more conservative air. The working for family trousers were well used but showing no stretch marks. The Kiwibank shoes were comfortable and very sturdy a good reliable work-shoe. The jacket with a definite purple hue was emblazoned with lapel badges for Kiwisaver, 20 hours early childcare (although the word 'free' appears to have been scratched off), and 4 week annual leave. The [would be] emperor was desperately trying to concealed the borrowed and dyed clothes with a much older camel coloured gabardine coat. It was obviously made for a much shorter man. This coat also sported two badges in barely legible script, the one reading "Rob's Mob" and the other "Think Big" I guess when you promise so much in tax cuts you have to cut government expenditure somehow and good on the [would be] emperor for leading the way with recycling.
