- Description
Shows a group of National Party MPs standing chatting over a cup of tea. The talk turns to beneficiaries who breed for business and sit around watching Sky TV, state-house no-hopers etc. John Key makes the point that present company is excepted of course and leader, John Key, agrees with embarrassment. Refers to National's welfare policy in the run-up to the 2008 election and the fact that John Key himself grew up in a state house. The politicians are from left; Don Brash, former leader, Judith Collins, MP for Clevedon, Patsy Wong, Gerry Brownlee, MP for Ilam, John Key, leader, and Bill English, deputy.
