"Meanwhile, Prime Minister John Key said he was not jealous that Happy Feet knocked him off the top of the news cycle in recent weeks."

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Just a few comments about the writing: the last paragraph of the lead has a lot of short sentences, one after the other, which to me reads rather awkwardly. But that's your call. Cremastra ‹ u — c › 14:12, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
