Context - John Key told Radio Sport host Tony Veitch last week that Actress Elizabeth Hurley was ''hot'' and that he also rated Jessica Alba and Angelina Jolie. John Key says a drive for "better value for money" from New Zealand's state sector including health, welfare, and social services - particularly for children - will be a key focus for his Government this election year. He says 'we will scale up what works, and get rid of what doesn't.' The government has reduced the number of state sector jobs by five per cent. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
