'Hi sweeties, it's me!' - Paula Bennett takes on comedian impersonator

  • 07/11/2017

"Hi sweeties, it's me Paula Bennett" has become a phrase heavily associated with the National MP this year - and for the first time, the words have come from her own mouth.

Ms Bennett has filmed a hilarious response to Snapchat comedian Tom Sainsbury, who frequently posts impersonations of the politician online.

His videos frequently receive upwards of 30,000 views after being posted to Facebook, and sometimes feature her girl gang - Judith Collins, Nikki Kaye, Amy Adams and Maggie Barry.

Ms Bennett's response, captioned "carpooling with my girls" shows her "out with [her] best girlfriends" - Ms Adams, Ms Kaye and Ms Barry.

"So we're just missing Judie Collins but we send her lots of love as well."

It's racked up huge praise in the comments section, many noting what a good sport Ms Bennett is about Mr Sainsbury's mocking videos.
