Reference: DCDL-0016073
Description: Prime Minister John Key and Governor of the Reserve Bank Alan Bollard are flying in a hot air balloon. John Key starts by declaring that he cannot interfere but then proceeds to do so by asking Alan Bollard to have the Reserve Bank devalue the Kiwi dollar. Alan Bollard wishes he could throw Key out of the basket but thinks it would make things worse. The surge in the kiwi dollar is related to the weak US currency rather than New Zealand's economy. Prime Minister John Key says the Government has no intention of intervening to try to bring down the New Zealand dollar, despite acknowledging the huge pressure the strong currency is putting on exporters. Mr Key says he has had no advice so far about the Reserve Bank increasing the cash supply in order to cheapen the New Zealand dollar. (Radio New Zealand News 1 November 2010) Bollard said the kiwi's strength against the US dollar, and recent volatility on a trade-weighted basis was outside the central bank's control and he talked down the ability of the Bank to push down the currency through intervention.

Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully told Morning Report there have always been limitations on interactions because of New Zealand's nuclear free legislation.

Description: Above the first of two cameos text reads 'Homosexual caveman found in Prague archaeological site'; below is a caveman burial site with artifacts. Above the second cameo text reads 'Homophobic caveman found in Labour caucus' and below is Labour MP Damien O'Connor who says 'A gaggle of gays rule our party. You heard it from Damien O'Connor first!' Context - A team of Czech archaeologists claim to have unearthed the remains of an early gay man from around 2900-2500 B.C. outside Prague. According to the Telegraph, the "gay caveman" was found buried in a way normally reserved only for women during the Copper Age. The man had been interred on his left side with his head facing east, with no weapons and household jugs -- almost always reserved for women in the region during that time -- placed at his feet. Traditionally, men were buried with weapons, hammers and flint knives, and their bodies were positioned on their right side with their heads facing west. (Huffington Post 7 April 2011) Labour MP Damien O'Connor has said sorry after lashing out about a "gaggle of gays" and "self-serving unionists" having too much control over the party. Hence a homosexual caveman and a homophobic caveman thousands of years apart. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
