Politicians are renowned for dodging awkward questions, but New Zealand Prime Minister John Key certainly bucked the trend in a recent radio interview.

Rock music station Radio Hauraki invited Key to take part in its Breakfast show's 'Thank You For Your Honesty' game whereby hosts Matt Heath, Jeremy Wells and Laura McGoldrick ask participants a series of 10 personal (occasionally rude) questions, which they then have to answer truthfully.

Key admitted that he'd stolen stuff, did wees in the shower and that he didn't think the Virgin Mary was a virgin. However, he also revealed that he didn't "trim his downstairs" and neither had he sent any personal pictures of himself.

Many commentators were surprised at the Kiwi PM's honesty, with British comedian and Last Week Tonight host John Oliver joking that the segment was "the greatest political interview of all time".

What do you think? Would Enda Kenny take part in a similar interview?
