All those things I said about my mom buying crazy stuff on e-bay? Hey, at least she pays attention to what she buys:

he Carter-Kaiser household doesn't know what to do with its newest member.

The 1m-long photograph of a penis cost Auckland MP Chris Carter $130 at a Rainbow Labour charity auction last Sunday.

But the conservation, local government and ethnic affairs minister claims that he wasn't sure what he was bidding for at the time."I was getting a hard time from the audience who were saying I was a rich MP and I should contribute, so I hadn't even really looked at the picture," says Carter. "Now that I've got it, I'm not quite sure who I can give it to. But I don't think I'll be hanging it in my ministerial office."

Claims not to have paid attention... yeah, that's the ticket. Claims.
