Today, the NZ Herald reported:
It might not be a direct quote, but it certainly shows Key to be a complete hypocrite.
John Key is facing a storm of internet protest after the republication of a 2005 article in which he appears to praise private schools for having smaller classes.
The Prime Minister told the Listener he sent his children to private schools for educational reasons, including smaller classes and better resources.
It was not a direct quote, but a picture of Mr Key with the comment alongside was posted on Facebook yesterday and by last night had appeared on numerous blogs and been shared by more than 6000 people.
Comments about it included labelling Mr Key a hypocrite for arguing now that increasing class sizes in the state sector would not affect standards of education.
It might not be a direct quote, but it certainly shows Key to be a complete hypocrite.
