How will you discipline them, Mr Key?
Labour MP Pete Hodgson has called upon National Leader John Key to discipline his deputy Bill English and front bencher Nick Smith after a series of politically incorrect jokes including jibes about Labour MP and Deputy Prime Minister Michael Cullen’s sexuality marked Nick Smith’s campaign launch in Nelson.
“Leaving aside the bizarre nature of the jibe, Mr Key has been saying for weeks that he intends to run a clean campaign. Two of his colleagues appear to hold another view, so the immediate question is how Mr Key will bring them into line.”
