Description: Shows PM John Key signing a 'Hobbit deal' whose 'details' will be 'kept secret'. John Key is a string puppet being operated by a large man whose legs alone are visible and who represents 'Warners'. Refers to the meetings between Warner Brothers representatives and John Key, which were called to try to reach an agreement over the filming of the Hobbit, which would allow the films to be made in New Zealand. The project was jeopardised by a long stand-off between the actors' unions and Peter Jackson in a union demand for negotiations over the terms and conditions offered in the contracts for actors and others working on the film. The 'deal' is likely to have advantaged Warner Brothers more than New Zealand. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
