Description: The cartoon depicts Daffy Duck as the 'PM' John Key who says 'Suspicious Israelis? Nah They were just backpackers!' He is surrounded by suitcases with 'Warner Bros', 'Washington' and 'White House' on the labels. Context: Prime Minister John Key is about to leave for the USA where he is being welcomed to the White House on Friday, July 22 by President Obama. The Southland Times reported on 20th July that an Israeli national killed in the February Christchurch Earthquake was a Mossad spy. PM John Key has confirmed that an investigation into the four Israelis involved was carried out by police and the SIS but he said no evidence was found of a link between the group and Israeli intelligence. It would seem that the group were backpackers, not Mossad agents. While he is in the US PM John Key is having a private dinner with senior executives of Warner Brothers. The company received tax breaks and forced changes to employment law in return for making the Hobbit in New Zealand, and Key believes more film companies will follow.

This amounts to an admission of defeat on the goal of lifting New Zealand's wages against Australia. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
