Lifetime busybody complains about busybodying

"[A]fter 31 years as an MP, where he spent inordinate hours in creating nonsensical rules that impinge on the personal responsibility of all citizens, [Nick Smith] is now complaining as Mayor of Nelson over being declined to being allowed to purchase a 'bottle' of wine at a vineyard function where patrons were only allowed to buy wine by the 'cup.'

"Such micro-managing of behaviour is ... permitted by endless legislated nonsensical garbage emanating from the Beehive. ...

"[N]ow retired [as an MP, this pathetic little man] is reduced to whining to media about stupid inane rules he has been a prime mover in creating, one way or another, for over 40 fricken' years."
