Prime Minister John Key has batted away criticism over a $275,000 makeover for his Wellington residence -- the latest in a string of taxpayer-funded government activities being questioned.

The Prime Minister also recently accepted a free ride in a helicopter, decided it 'wasn't a good look' and taxpayers ended up footing the $2000 bill.
