What a difference

A fascinating story I missed from Wednesday. The Made from New Zealand project is to be launched on Waitangi Day and one of the people they asked for support was John Key. John purchased a dozen limited edition t-shirts in support, out of his own money. He also agreed to a request to attend a media attended rehearsal of building a gaint silver fern.

Suddenly then Trevor Mallard gets involved and says he wants to buy 400 t-shirts. Not with Trevor’s own money you realise, but with taxpayers money. And as Trevor tells the organisers he is looking to buy 400 (with our money) he also tells the organisers to “keep the campaign apolitical”. And suddenly the organisers uninvite John Key.

If you think there is no connection, I have a bridge for sale. And hey it only cost the Government $40,000 of our money,
