All about John Key

As many will know the Herald had three staff spend around half a year interviewing close to 100 people about John Key for their unauthorised biography. Like the Sunday Star-Times found with their earlier investigation of John’s work career, there are no dark hidden secrets. Well unless you count learning to play golf at age 10 as he had determined it would be useful for his future business career 🙂

The Herald had a remarkable eight full pages on John’s background and family. It is part of politics to have some of that focus (mind you I can’t recall one ever so detailed as this) but it is probably a bit unsettling to have so many people talking about your family and early days. I’m one of the few who probably read the full eight pages, and what struck me is what a remarkable woman John’s mother was.
