John Key peacemaker

The Press reports:

Prime Minister John Key is used to the cut and thrust of politics, but he had to draw on his full range of diplomatic skills with warring Christchurch preschool brothers yesterday.

Key was caught in the crossfire during a visit to the Canterbury Plunket Centre in Addington when three-year-old Dominic Knill took aim at his younger brother, Callum, using colouring pens as projectiles.

Key defused the situation after a toy truck was sent flying in his direction.

I’m not sure where this story was placed in the actual newspaper, but photos and stories like this probably do more for poll ratings, than anything else.  Well not quite, but the right photo and story can be very powerful.
