It's business time for Oxfam. The charity has signed up Flight of the Conchords star Bret McKenzie for a special one-off 'Fair Trade me' celebrity auction to help raise awareness of fair trade as well as funds for Oxfam's work with communities throughout the developing world.
The auction launches today on Trade Me and coincides with the start of Fair Trade Fortnight.
McKenzie, who recently won an Oscar for best song in the Muppets movie, has placed himself up for auction on the trading website.
The highest bidder will receive a guitar signed by Bret and his Flight of the Conchords partner Jemaine Clement, but also a sit down and a chat with the Kiwi star over a coffee in Wellington.
"Move away from the computer. Stand up. Put some clothes on and go to the shops and get some Fairtrade stuff," said McKenzie on today's event.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you still reading this? Are you addicted to reading? Get a friend to help you stop reading. Meet them at a cafe and have a cup of Fairtrade coffee and talk about your reading addiction. Get moving. Hurry, before it's too late to make the world a better place."
