Description: Text reads 'National opens up a 30 point lead'; below is a poll showing 'Labour' with a cross and 'National' with tick and below again the words 'POLLitical correctness' (wordplay on 'poll' and 'political') Context - The National Party has opened up a 30 point lead over the Labour Party in the latest TV3 poll released on Sunday. The preferred party poll puts National up almost 3% to 57.5%, just short of the record high of 60% the party reached two years ago. While National is up, Labour is down almost four points to 27.1. That would give National a comfortable majority of 71 seats in the 120-seat Parliament and Labour just 34. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Context: Prime Minister John Key had a cup of tea with ACT Party Epsom candidate John Banks in a Newmarket cafe on 11 November 2011 and invited media as a photo opportunity to demonstrate National Party support for Banks' election to Parliament in 2011 General Elections. Cameraman Bradley Ambrose left his equipment on the table and unwittingly recorded their conversation. The recordings were given to The Herald on Sunday, but not published. John Key laid a complaint to police over the taping of his conversation with Banks, and refused to grant permission for publication of the conversation. Ambrose sought a ruling by the High Court on whether it was a private or public conversation. Justice Helen Winkleman declined to make a declaratory order.

Context - the furore over the changing of the colour of the Otago Highlanders rugby team jersey from blue to green.
