A cast worn by the Prime Minister John Key on his broken arm will be auctioned for charity.
Mr Key says he will put the cast on the TradeMe website and the money it fetches will go to a charity in Solomon Islands.
He made a day-long visit to the capital Honiara on his way back to New Zealand from a special Pacific Islands Forum meeting in Papua New Guinea.
Mr Key says it was New Zealand police officers serving in the Regional Assistance Mission in Solomon Islands who suggested he sell the cast to the highest bidder.
He will donate the proceeds of the auction to the Foundation for the Blind in Solomon Islands.
