Text read 'Egomatic protection squad'. In a second version John Key shouts 'Don't look at me! Don't look at me!' In the third version John Key shouts 'Don't look at me.. Don't look at me! And the text reads 'Diplomatic Protection'. Context - Labour has accused Key of using the Diplomatic Protection Squad as an entourage, after its costs blew out by $800,000 in 2009/10. But Emails from Helen Clark's time as Prime Minister show a personal security detail can be turned down, despite Prime Minister John Key's insistence he has no say in the matter.
