Another toxic toy made in China! He shakes hands with everyone except the Dalai Lama. 19 December 2010

- Description
A boxed figure of Prime Minister John Key is being promoted as a Christmas gift. It is described as 'another toxic toy made in China. Words on the box read '2 face Key' and 'pliable figure of fun'. Further text reads 'Poison the kids this Christmas!' and 'He shakes hands with everyone except the Dalai Lama'. The NZ Herald has revealed a leaked US Embassy cable that said Key had assured the Chinese premier he would not meet the Dalai Lama. But Key promised voters he would meet him. Foreign Minister Murray McCully insists there was no "official" instruction to senior politicians to avoid meeting the Dalai Lama. Key decided himself to dodge a meeting - and his Cabinet ministers made the same decision, all at the same time, all by themselves. Refers to the Dalai Lama's visit to New Zealand last December 2009.
