The other, carrying a satchel indicating that he works for 'Govt PR', agrees: 'Sure is. He missed a great photo op!' On 14 November 2014 the National government decided that there would be no government compensation paid to the families of the 29 men who died in the Pike River Mine disaster of 2011. This was a widely unpopular decision. The prime minister's knack of manipulation of the media for photo opportunities in favourable publicity events seemed to have deserted him.
