He wasn't doing any waving, but boy, was Phil smiling! He was positively radiant, regardless of the camera angle, and even when the latest Roy Morgan poll was mentioned, the beaming continued.
We suppose that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Henceforth, Phil Goff will be known at this fine blog as Smile 'n' Wave II!
UPDATED: Courtesy of WhaleOil, here's pictorial evidence of Smile 'n' Wave II's attempt to turn back the sands of time ...

I need a magnifying glass to read that tiny font!
Yeah, I don't know quite what's happened there Suz - sorry to stress your eyes out!
I'm in need of a white-stick most of the time anyway, it's probably fine for most normal people...hope you're taking it easy.
and what about Phil's Make over - loverly colour in his hair - look out for touched up photos.
But he needs to realise that fancy make-over (a-la-Clark) will not convince anyone to support Labour)
You'll be calling Goff 'smile and wave II'?
That means you'll also be calling Key 'smile and wave'.
In the interests of fairness.
And you're a fair man.
Please, not more smile and wave, it's getting really dull. I would like Key if it wasn't for the endless smile and wave show, so I don't see why Goff can't do something different.
Boring, boring, boring!
Goff should stick to that new walk he has developed. Really suits him.
Yes, Gaff should definitely talk the walk. He has never been Minister for Funny Walks, right?
Goff looks like he is on happy pills. The slightly manic, fixed grin look and funny walk are an amusing combo.
As long as he doesn't copy Key's 'caviler shrug it off' to *every damn question he's asked* we'll be ok. That imitation has been squarely taken up by a number of his Ministers. Once the charm wears of it's just cold cold indifference to important questions the public deserves answers about.
we all know Phylis has been around for years so maybe he/they have decided to make him look younger to try and hide that fact from the younger voters?
Just wondering Inv2, what position you'd take if The Standard or Red Alert posted on Key's hair.
His hair!
Imagine it!
Feeeeeeeeeeble.
Not to mention his "mansion in Hawaii", eh Robert - touche
Wort. Post. Ever.
Sheesh, I2 you are being marked on your posts by the duty troll.
To be honest I didn't notice Mr Goffs new barnet, but once it was pointed out, ye gods what is the man trying to do.
I'm sorry but it brings to mind Thorney's perm all those years ago and the ridicule that caused.
c'est la vie Alex.
Graham Thorne eh? There's a name from the past. I well remember THAT Sunday afternoon when The Perm appeared on Sunday Grandstand. The nation was divided. I doubt that Phil Goff's makeover will cause similar shockwaves.
Anon is right.
This is your wort post ever.
Beer with me.
Very good Robert; he could have said "wart" post which would be appropriate for me just at the moment with these scaly things.
But Anon also makes a strong case for the introduction of National Standards ...
