Description: Shows Prime Minister John Key drowning in a cup of tea. In the background is leader of NZ First, Winston Peters, as a Cheshire cat. A monstrous old woman pours tea into the cup. Context: Refers to the controversial tea party tapes that recorded a conversation that included derogatory comments about Act leader Don Brash and the elderly who support NZ First. The tea party was a publicity stunt between Prime Minister John Key and the ACT candidate for the seat of Epsom, John Banks, and was intended to highlight John Key's backing of this candidate. The event was filmed and the conversation recorded but John Key tried to have the conversation suppressed. It was released by NZ First leader Winston Peters. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
