Reference: DCDL-0017137

Description: A man and a woman chat over a cup of tea; the woman says 'That prediction made on Waitangi Day was a bit gloomy' and the man tells her to cheer up as he predits that 'John Key's going to announce a new public holiday if we win the Rugby World Cup' and she says 'And if that doesn't keep him up in the polls, he could promise to Mondayise it'. Context - A Waitangi dawn ceremony ended with a Maori elder prophesying the destruction of Wellington in a huge earthquake that would leave the Beehive "lying in the debris of the streets". In a strange end to this morning's prayer ceremony at the Treaty Grounds, Kerei Tia Toa said he had "seen" a great earthquake that was going to ravage Wellington in the month of June. John Key's polling rate is likely to be affected by the result of the Rugby World Cup for the All Blacks. Strangely one might think a catastrophic Christchurch earthquake occurred on 22 February in Christchurch (not Wellington!) but it was not in June. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
