DJ Key talks cats, not tax on radio show

How can Radio Live possibly maintain that the show has no politics, the presenter is the Prime Minister of the country. It can't actually be separated. Whether current political issues are discussed or not is irrelevant, it is still irrevocably political, rhetorical play, and completely electoral in nature. Despicably disguised and disgustingly partisan on behalf of Radio Live

lMAO @ #21 im sure it was just a bit of fun for friday, so i don't blame John Key for having a sense of humour and a bit of fun-theres nothing more healthy-just as long as he keeps up being the Prime Minister lol

@LindaC #27, it's an election year... which is a popularity contest really.... isn't it?

Yes, Key would be good as a media anchorman on TV, but as PM he's far too foolish. Borrowing heavily to give the wealthy tax-cuts? yeah right!! bottling up money for the rich is really going to help our NZ economy prosper!!! WAKE UP NEW ZEALAND Why cant you see where Key's ship of fools intends to take us all if re-elected? Into debt like Greece, that's where, and I can tell you then NZ will become another indebted defaulted failed economy whilst Key and his fat cat friends LAUGH in our faces. Do you know this is not rocket science? See through that sneering smile and the media hype, and it's no wonder Key prefers cats to the inconvenient truth of Standard & Poors downgraded national credit ratings!!!

I always have a giggle when a lefty trots out the "tax cuts for the rich" rubbish. I got a tax cut, and I'm not rich.

Looking forward to National carrying on the good work after they win a clear majority in November. Looking forward to MMP being ditched so the loony minority parties can no longer hold sway. Looking forward to watching labour implode

Typical Labour voters without the attention span to read past the headline.

"Radio Live had required the show to be politics-free. The station had been advised by the Electoral Commission that it had to be or it could not go ahead."

Anyone slagging John Key off for this should lose their rights to vote as they probably tick the first box they see on voting papers.

To all those commenting on the Electoral Commisson and the show having to be politics free can I say the word apologists? We are in an election campaign and the show was an election publicity stunt.

there wouldn't have been any intelligent questions from radio live listeners for john key to answer, so he may as well talk about his cat!

Key's so useless he should apply to join the IRB.

That's a stupid idea of Radio Live as everyone knows that Key is electioneering just by being on the programme. Same as all those photo shots at World Rugby Cup venues. They must think we're dumb.
