So after grilling Judith Collins over her conflict of interest, Key’s golfing buddy, Party donor and owner of Judith Collins’ Husband’s business, Stone Shi gets invited to a dinner Key is hosting.

Key’s comments on the taxpayer funded fun session for his golfing buddy when challenged is Nixon casual

“The Cabinet Office actually is quite relaxed about it in the end,” says Mr Key. “Of course a person is going to walk around and say, ‘This is nice.’ You’re hardly ever going to walk into a business and say, ‘Thanks for the taste of your drink. By the way, it sucks.’ It’s just not the way it works.”

…meaning when John Key does it, it’s not a conflict of interest.

Where is the Taxpayer ‘Union’ on this? Or do they only pick on deaf MPs and Maori language providers?
