Description: A tiny Kiwi sits in the pocket of a slightly larger kangaroo and both sit in the pocket of a huge man representing the USA. The kiwi comments 'In defense matters it's vitally important that you can stand on someone's own two feet...' Refers to Australia being New Zealand's most important security partner and to the signing between PM John Key and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the occasion of her November visit to New Zealand of the 'Wellington Declaration' that 'formalises a new strategic partnership between the two countries, commits to regular meetings at foreign minister level, working together on trade and holding annual military talks'. Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully told Morning Report there have always been limitations on interactions because of New Zealand's nuclear free legislation. "It means that while Australia and the United States have an alliance, we don't have one, and we had to try and find a new, positive way of expressing a partnership that wasn't an alliance."

Description: Hillary Clinton American Secretary of State prepares to leave New Zealand on a large ship which is emptying its bilge tanks that represent 'culture' into the sea. PM John Key stands on the jetty and says 'The nukes stay banned but feel free to keep venting your bilge tanks'. Context; American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visit to New Zealand in November. The NZ-US Council says the signing of the Wellington Declaration will lead to even closer ties between New Zealand and the United States. NZ-US Council executive director Stephen Jacobi said it would have benefits for both parties in terms of political co-operation, trade, security and defence and sustainable development. The nuclear ban policy would require a referendum before making changes although Wikileaks indicates that some National MPs would certainly like to get rid of it.

The 'Wellington Declaration' was a document signed by Hillary Clinton and Minister of Foreign Affairs Murray McCully during Clinton's brief visit to New Zealand in early November 2010; it signaled a new era of partnership with an agreement by Hillary Clinton and PM John Key to hold annual political military talks, regular ministerial level meetings, and to work together in the Pacific region on energy and natural disaster response projects. The mid-term election results showed an expected swing against Obama and the Democrats. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Prime Minister John Key and American Secretary of State Hilary Clinton sit facing one another across a table as an enormous dragon representing China rears up behind them. The title reads 'The Clinton-Key encounter and the elephant in the room'. The encounter took place when Hilary Clinton visited New Zealand in early November; the two signed the 'Wellington Declaration that 'formalises a new strategic partnership between the two countries, commits to regular meetings at foreign minister level, working together on trade and holding annual military talks'. Refers on the one hand to the free trade deals that are so important to New Zealand and that, thanks to a trading partnership signed in 2008, means that New Zealand now sells to China in seven hours what it used to sell in all of 1972. Refers on the other hand to the sovereignty disputes over the Spratly and Paracel island chains, which are potentially rich in natural resources, have pitted China against some of its neighbors, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines. Clinton said the United States and every other nation "has a national interest in freedom of navigation, open access to Asia's maritime commons, and respect for international law in the South China Sea," which contains some of the busiest commercial sea lanes in the world and so she says the Obama administration wants claimants to pursue their disputes in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea rather than through coercion.

Description: American Secretary of State Hilary Clinton sits with PM John Key on the occasion of her state visit to New Zealand at the beginning of November 2010. She asks Key how they can get past this whole anti-nuclear thing and he says 'By lunchtime... in fact if you'd been here last week we'd have made protest illegal, and given you tax breaks to make a movie!' Refers to Labour's ban on ships that were nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed that led to George Schultz confirming in 1985 that the United States was no longer willing to maintain its security guarantee to New Zealand, although the ANZUS treaty structure remained in place. Refers secondly to the 'Wellington Declaration' that 'formalises a new strategic partnership between New Zealand and the United States, and commits to regular meetings at foreign minister level, which includes working together on trade and holding annual military talks' that was signed between Clinton and Key on the occasion of the November meeting. Refers lastly to the successful resolution of the impasse over the making of the two Hobbit films in New Zealand after meetings between PM John Key and Warner Brothers representatives, that divided New Zealanders. The government agreed to amend the country's labour laws and offered a $25m tax break to the Hollywood studio Warner Bros. Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

Context: refers to the obliteration of parts of Prime Minister John Key's comments in a news conference with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the Pacific Islands Forum. There was no wind that day and it seems that blaming the wind was a noble effort by the State Department to save face for Key, who already faces some mockery for his diction, even from New Zealanders.
