Society of Rogues

Madam - The Burglar’s, Thieves, Thugs and Fiends Association wish to thank the government for undermining the morale of the Police Force and making the lives of our members that much easier.

It is nice to know that we have friends in high places ( especially the Treasury Dept!) and wish to congratulate Prime Minister Jemmy, er Jenny and her col leagues for making New Zealand a safer place in which our members can carry out their activities without interference.

Our members always suspected that we have much in common with those who pull the strings of government, for example Extortion; (by excessive taxation espe cially GST) Stealing:(Privatisation - selling off assets that do not belong to them.) Murder : (Allowing people to die on economic grounds by not giving access to medical treatment that would have pro longed their life).

Negligence: (putting at risk people’s lives by undermining the Fire Service).

Treason: Not representing the interests of those who elect them. * Actually we are morally superior in this respect our mem bers interests!

Rest assured Jenny we (and the rogues and scoundrels society) pledge our support to ensure that you and your associates con tinue the fine work that you started.

Martin Leo Otahuhu, Auckland.
