The auction for the Prime Ministers drawing of an alternative NZ Flag is up over $10,000 and closes tonight at 7:30pm on Trade Me.
There have been more than 125,000 views of the auction item since it was listed just over a week ago and more than 180 bids.
The auction came about after Prime Minister, John Key was asked to draw his version of an alternative NZ Flag by Pippa Wetzell on TVNZs Breakfast programme last week. By the time the programme went off-air at 9am last Monday morning, TVNZ had received many pledges of money for the A4 sized doodle.
Mr Key gave his consent for the drawing to be auctioned for charity so it was listed on Trade Me with all proceeds to go to Cure Kids.
Breakfast reporter, Matty McLean has since listed his own doodle
of an alternative NZ Flag in a tongue-in-cheek effort to try and
raise more money for Cure Kids than the Prime Minister.
Mattys auction closes tomorrow morning and is currently sitting at
just over $330.
