New Zealand Prime Minister John Key could be in trouble after he pulled the ponytail of a waitress in a cafe. Mr Key apologised after waitress Amanda Bailey posted online that the PM had pulled her hair many times when he visited the cafe. Ms Bailey said Mr Key started the hair-pulling last year during his election campaign. She said she repeatedly told him to stop and to not do it again, but he didn't listen to her. Shecould now take New Zealand's leader to court. He could be investigated for the crime of "hostile touching"if Ms Bailey goes to the police. A New Zealand legal expert said: "You have to remember this is an older white male with a lot of power." He said Ms Bailey was in a powerless position.

新西蘭總理約翰·基在咖啡廳拽女服務員辮子，這或將讓她招致麻煩。女服務員阿曼達·貝莉將總理在咖啡館多次拽馬尾辮一事在網上公布于眾，之后總理進行了道歉。貝莉說首相在去年競選時就開始了此項行為。她說她多次讓他停止，但是他沒有聽。如今，她可以將新西蘭領導人告上法庭。如果貝莉報案，那么首相將會以“敵意觸摸”罪而遭到調查。新西蘭法律專家稱：“你要記住的是這個白人老頭手握重權。”他說貝莉女士沒有實權。

Mr Key has apologised for his actions and said he was just "horsing around" (joking) with the waitress. However, many people in New Zealand think the apology is not enough. Women's rights campaigner Marilyn Waring told Radio New Zealand that she believed Mr Key had broken the law. She said: "I'm getting tired of it being called anything but illegal." New Zealand's deputy leader Tracey Martin said it was unacceptable behaviour for a leader of any country. She added: "If he doesn't understand where people's personal boundarieslie, we've got some rather serious problems." The Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, said: "It's never OK to touch someone without their permission."

首相對此行為進行了道歉，并稱他只是在和女服務員開玩笑。但是，新西蘭的許多民眾認為他們并不滿足道歉。女權運動人士瑪里琳·華林對新西蘭廣播電臺說首相違反了法律。她認為：“我已經對這種行為怎么叫感到了厭煩，但是這就是違法。”新西蘭特蕾西·馬丁認為這對于任何國家的領導人而言都是不可容忍的。她還說：“如果他不知道私人底線在哪里，那么我們就會面臨更加嚴重的問題。”勞工平等部稱：“在沒有對方許可的前提下觸摸他人都是不對的。”
