PM pulls Waitress Ponytail, Apologises!
X
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key made news for all the wrong reasons. He was under attack for repeatedly pulling the ponytail of a waitress. Women's Group and PM's Opponents didn't take much time to attack him for joining the list of people outed for sexism.

Reports of PM's objectionable act went viral after the Waitress revealed the incident in a blog. "He would come up behind me when I was at the ordering terminal, tug on my hair and then pretend that his wife, Bronagh, had done it (much to her embarrassment), and she would tell him to stop it. As he rounded the corner behind me he commented ‘that’s a very tantalising ponytail. That was almost more offensive than the harassment itself," she wrote.

A spokesperson of John Key issues an apology and conveyed it was never his intention to make her feel uncomfortable.
