Description: Prime Minister, John Key, smiles brightly as he stands at a podium and delivers a speech in which he comments that another benefit of less restricted trans-Tasman travel is that it will make it much easier for Rodney Hide to emigrate to Australia. Rodney Hide sits nearby with his arms stubbornly folded; beside him is a poster reading 'I shall resign over Maori seats'. Refers to the The Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement that is an informal agreement between Australia and New Zealand to allow for the free movement of citizens of one nation to the other. Refers also to the tensions that are simmering over whether there should be Maori seats in the Auckland 'super-city' council. The Royal Commission which reported on Auckland's local government structure recommended reserved Maori seats but the Government scrapped that when it set out its plans for the city.
