Not only do our politicians live in a parallel universe of their own creation (remember history is written by the victor but the little people live, breathe and die regardless), they also want to own the stories they create.
A small island state like NZ must be tolerant for it to survive, if we all started killing each other it would not take long for us to be unable to replace our numbers. We let the politicians think they are necessary (poor dears), then do what we need to survive and ultimately face our maker alone.
