We love Outrageous Fortune. Its tickles New Zealands suburban underbelly and we all get to laugh out loud. The shows leading lady Cheryl West is our heroine - she sticks up for her family no matter what and she is trying to make a better life for her colourful brood. But it appears our Mocchachino momma , Paula Bennett is well on the way to displacing Cheryl as our Westie heroine.
Now Minister Paula Bennett has been in the news a bit. So despite not letting the Boss know everything ( not so good), she has done nothing wrong in giving the partner of her daughter the support and love he needs to get his life on track. However we bet a bucket of dunkin donuts that if the bugger is dumb enough to stuff up again he wont be given a second chance.
Its her real life experiences that a raft of New Zealanders can relate to her that make her good for the job she is in.
She has lived, - she is not one of lifes passengers in the big bus that goes nowhere.
We have a couple of relatives who have been dorks and ended up doing some time and they have gone on to be good citizens. One is now a multi millionaire - through hard work and determination and having a good wife at his side. Family has always been the reason they got back on track.
So we support Paula, for being a mom, a very good mom, for being compassionate and willing to give a hard arse a second go at life.
We like it that we have a real Cheryl West in Parliament, the Westies and their suburban cousins up and down New Zealand have been seriously underrepresented in parliament in the past.
So its time to let the lady get on and get our welfare system working the way it should.
Go you good thing.
