Description: The cartoon shows an advertisement featuring Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and PM John Key; text reads 'The nation awaits the PM's speech live from the debating chamber starring Julia and Johno with Russel Norman "She shouldn't address us sitting!" and Phil Goff "We will re-negotiate everything! Maybe!"' Julia Gillard says 'K..K..K.. KEY!' and John Key with his arm round her says kindly "That's it!! Now say ora!" Context - Julia Gillard's state visit to New Zealand in mid February. Russel Norman co-leader of the Greens objected to her speaking in Parliament's debating chamber because 'no international head of state had ever addressed Parliament and allowing Ms Gillard to speak would set a precedent.' 'Instead Ms Gillard will speak in the debating chamber but not during a formal sitting of Parliament.' Labour Party leader Phil Goff vainly tries to gain a toehold and PM John Key and Julia Gillard emphasise a strong friendship between New Zealand and Australia. Both colour and black and white versions of this cartoon are available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Prime Minister John Key blushes with embarrassment as he stands in a pool of light beneath a bright lamp that is fixed above the door of the 'OZ Press' (Australian press). On the door-handle is a notice that reads 'Gone fishin'.' He says into his mobile phone 'Yeah, I'm with the Aussie Press now, talk about being in the spotlight...' On the ground is a newspaper with a headline reading 'PM's visit low key in Aus.' Context - John Key's visit is receiving scant mentions in the Australian media probably because the Australian media are more interested in the ailing state of the Labor Government which continues to plummet in the polls - a recent Newspoll has the Labor Party at 31 per cent, behind the opposition Coalition on 46 per cent.
