NZ Prime Minister caught up in radio station's prison rape stunt
16
December, 2015
The
Prime Minister has embarked on another round of boundary-pushing
commercial radio appearances - including picking up soap in a cage
and an excruciating karaoke performance.
John
Key is already known for a willingness to go along with embarrassing
and unusual questions and situations dreamed up by presenters, and
has previously revealed on Radio Hauraki that he has urinated in the
shower.
That
theme continued today after Mr Key visited radio stations including
The Rock and The Edge.
The
Prime Minister was initially reluctant to enter a cage that had been
brought into The Rock's studio.
"Do
I look like a zoo animal," he asked, before agreeing.
Once
inside, he was told by host Tom Furniss to to pick up a bar of soap,
and did so to laughter from the station's staff.
Picking
up soap is a reference to prison rape.
The
Prime Minister commented that the soap smelt bad and was greasy, and
was informed it came from the urinal.
Furniss
then told Mr Key he had a "pretty little mouth" - a
reference to the film Deliverance.
Over
at The Edge, host Dominic Harvey gave Mr Key a choice between pulling
the ponytails of a number of female staff members who had lined up
outside the studio, or performing karaoke.
In
April, Mr Key apologised to Auckland waitress Amanda Bailey for
pulling her ponytail, an action she described as bullying.
PM doubts international climate change predictions

John Key doubts climate change will get as dire as predicted.
A
historic deal has been reached at the recent climate conference in
Paris to limit global warming to well below two degrees above
pre-industrial levels.
While
Key agrees climate change is an issue, he doubts it will see the
world grow five to ten degrees warmer as scientists predict.
He's
confident there will be answers to those factors contributing to
climate change.
"I've
seen a lot of leaders get up and say that this is potentially the
biggest threat to mankind. Well that may be true, but my point really
would be it's not going to get there."
He
said half of New Zealand's emissions come from animals, our oil
energy generation is largely renewable and he also expects in ten
years time everyone will be driving an electric car.
