The trip to India wasn’t a total waste for the leader of the national party. He has had more positions than in the kama sutra on asset sales and taxation.
Was going to post on the fact that he has been missing in inaction since Tuesday. But The Standard beat me to it.
He now makes a habit of avoiding Parliament when in trouble. Combination of the house and journos on the bridge mean Captain panic pants locks him in his room. Wednesday was another example.
And it looks like he will have to share the front pages of major US newspapers and leads in the US electronic media. Pesky debt crisis. Wonder if he will offer Cullen’s services in getting country to nil net debt.
Meanwhile the #ownourfuture site is going gangbusters.
This protecting of the Prime Minister as a brand is going to wear thin this year.
Keeping a PM away from the media and a house is a tactic that is questionable at the best of times, but in an election year the Press really won’t wear it.
There’s no answer to that Spud!!
Isn’t it good to have a Prime Minister who listens to others and shows respect to their views and concerns. So different to his predecessor.
@ don’t vote labour
I’m not sure what your comments have to do with the issue of protecting the PM? Oh that’s right… absolutely nothing.
The title Rich the title

That isn’t John Key, Don’t Vote – that was Helen Clark. Full marks for a straw man argument though, not even close to topic.
The point is Key is avoiding the House, and is now avoiding the media. He can’t keep that up in an election year.
@Dont vote – lol – I think you need to get your facts right – our current PM is the least able to listen since Muldoon days, I would think. He smiles, he waves, and at times he smiles and waves, but listen he does not. But thanks for the light comic relief.
kama sutra…more contortions than panic pants
