The story told by stuff is of a popular Key being mobbed by fans at Big Gay Out and the Opposition making obligatory visits…

John Key was mobbed by people wanting selfies as he walked around greeting the crowd of around 10,000 at Auckland’s Big Gay Out.

Not all were happy to see the Prime Minister though. Three Protesters also closed in on him holding signs that said “capitalism is climate change war and pollution”. One man was seen being detained by police and taken away in handcuffs. A witness said he was “swearing and carrying on”.

Others were cheering in support of Key, one yelling “I love you babe” as he walked past. A group even threw pink glitter all over him and his entourage.

Other politicians, including the leaders of Labour and the Green Party, were also set to make their obligatory appearances.

The Reality? In a first for Big Gay Out Key was booed off stage and glitter bombed by protestors.

  1. Key is a ponse ………… Plain and simple………… More ‘hamming it up’ acting like the prat he is. Down with Con Key

  2. They’ve now amended the story and added: “He was then booed by TPPA protestors throughout delivery of a short speech on stage. The vocal protests against Key seemed focused on TPPA issues and were in marked contrast to the usually positive reception to the PM at the Big Gay Out in past years.”

    Yep, original story was one of the most blatant examples of pro-Key bias I’ve seen for some time. I read it straight after watching the actual footage of Key getting booed off the stage by a huge crowd.

  3. As the picture says don’t believe all you read in the papers.

    I can well imagine him being booed out of the park.

  4. To be fair, ONE news was almost true. They said that there was a lot of people wanting selfies but also “JK goes from hero to zero”, that he was glitter bombed by protesters, that there was protesters there and that he was booed. Hmm, they could have done a lot better.

  5. So what will John Key do?

    He will follow the Waitangi excuse and say, if they do not want me, I won’t go.

    Next year the Big Gay Out may be taking place without Key dropping by. And the media will then probably not even report on that event, same as they may not report on Waitangi Day celebrations.

    Where Key goes the MSM seems to be going.

    All clowns and overrated jonolists.

    • There’s a lot of “photo-ops” for the PM between now and the election in 2017.

      Lots more opportunities for those affected most by the delights (irony alert) of neoliberal oligarchy, to show their displeasure.

      …and then there’s the flag referendum…

  6. I have noticed that in recent times, there have been a series of articles on Stuff promoting Key and Seymour. Looks shady to me.

  7. Key got the raspberry because he is such a damned hypocrite. He knocks around with the “I’m not sorry I’m a man” brigade, most of whom would happily punch a gay a day and then he greases around them trying to make out how liberal and supportive of gays he is.
    Seems the gays see straight though his hypocrisy.
    Key’s spell over New Zealand is starting to wear out.

  8. OMG!

    FJK attacked and assaulted by glitter!

    Terrorism is alive and well in NZ!

    Is this enough for the SIS and GCSB to begin a programme of “watching” and infiltrating the lives and communications of the threatening protesters?

    Ha ha good on the protesters. Now after the glitter “attack” this year, will FJK attend the 2017 (election year) Big Gay Out? Watch this space.
