Description: In the first of three frames 'other media' push a custard pie into the face of 'Murdoch', media mogul Rupert Murdoch. In the second frame 'Israel' thrusts a custard pie into the face of 'NZ' and in the third frame Hone Harawira thrusts a custrad pie into the face of 'Parliament'. Context - The first image relates to the phone hacking scandal at the 'News of the World' newspaper. At the House of Commons' Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee meeting in which Rupert Murdoch was giving evidence, someone threw a custard pie at him but it was intercepted by his young wife Wendi Deng. The second image relates to an over-reaction by New Zealand to the hasty departure of a group of young Israeli backpackers from New Zealand immediately after the June 13 earthquake; they were suspected of spying in a report in the Southland Times and John Key did not deal well with the issue, thus angering the Israelis. The third frame relates to Hone Harawira being thrown out of parliament by the speaker when he refused to swear an oath of affirmation required by law. Instead Mr Harawira chose to read from the Treaty of Waitangi. The full oath was included at the end of his statement, but the Speaker had not allowed him to finish. Mr Lockwood Smith said he had to throw Mr Harawira out because it was illegal not to give the oath as it was defined by law. Title supplied by librarian Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The cartoon shows Prime Minister, John Key, with his arm round President Obama, who holds a sword dripping with blood and bearing the words 'Congress debt deals'. John Key is holding out a camera with which he is taking a photograph while President Obama asks anxiously 'Will this take long?' Obama has a sword stuck right through him and behind him in the distance is a mediaeval army baying for blood. Context - John Key had an hour-long meeting with President Obama during a recent visit to the United States. Key was keen to talk free trade but it was very evident that Obama had much bigger things to worry about as the United States edged closer on Tuesday (26 July) to a devastating default as Republicans and Democrats deadlocked over competing plans to raise the debt ceiling, one week before a deadline to act. President Obama took to the airwaves in an effort to shift the debate. He called the recent weeks of negotiations over raising the debt ceiling a three-ring circus and asked the public to rally behind his effort to avoid a debt crisis, both temporarily and through the next presidential election.
