Critic Steals PM’s Cup
by Staff Reporter | 11:30 pm 09/08/2010
Critic’s Wellington correspondent pulled off a daring heist last week, gaining international media coverage after stealing Prime Minister John Key’s used coffee cup.
Jackson Freeman took the cup after covering a talk Key gave to students at a Vic Uni hostel. In the talk Key said he was unhappy with the current interest-free loan scheme.
Freeman listed the cup on TradeMe, telling bidders it was not washed “for all you weirdos out there.” The initial auction closed last Tuesday, but the item was re-listed after the winning bidder pulled out, and the new auction has a closing date of August 10.
