Not only to New Zealand has our Prime Minister John Key made a disgraceful exhibition of himself but also to the world.

This is most unacceptable behaviour from a man of his status as leader of our nation. I strongly feel that because he has stood down other members of Parliament for less than this he should immediately stand down as Prime Minister, pending an inquiry into his actions.

This behaviour is not acceptable - particularly by a man in his position. The crime has been committed and should not be sidelined because he has made an apology. If this is to be the case I feel sorry for our society.

Was it a try to cover it up with an apology by giving her two bottles of his own pinot noir wine? As a New Zealander I feel disgusted that a man of John Key's status can act so irresponsible and for the good grace of New Zealand should relinquish his position forthwith as he would expect any Member of Parliament to do in the same situation.
