Description: Cartoon shows a casually dressed Radio Live announcer reading a spoof weather forecast. Two months before the 2011 General Election, the Prime Minister, John Key, hosted a show on Radio Live. In February 2012 the Electoral Commission decided that this breached the Broadcasting Act. The Prime Minister claimed to have no knowledge of his staff having any input into the show, despite leaked e-mails suggesting otherwise. The reference to 'Teflon showers over the Beehive' refers to the 'Teflon coating' of the Prime Minister in successfully avoiding blame for this matter. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
