The New Zealand Herald is reporting that John Key is looking at saving the Rally of New Zealand. He is non-committal though:
“It’s a sport that New Zealand has a very long history in, so I’m going to have a look at it and see whether it’s possible for us to play some part. I can’t guarantee we can ride in as a white knight, but we will look at it.”
As I noted previously, the Rally has a large international following and could have great spin-offs for tourism and other economic activity if the government gets behind it and does it right.
Is this just another example of Key saying whatever the person in front of him wants to hear or will he actually follow through?
