The new Police Minister has the Prime Minister on his side, after revealing a decades-old conviction for drink-driving.

Michael Woodhouse says he received the conviction 27 years ago, aged 21.

He disclosed the conviction to the National Party, before becoming a candidate in 2008.

John Key is shrugging off the issue.

He says very few people who become MPs have a perfect history, and the important thing is learning from your mistakes, and Michael Woodhouse has done that.
