Context - the Australian PM visited New Zealand in mid January 2011 - during this time the two PMs emphasised the close friendship between the two countries. The 'Warney' comment refers to Ozzie cricket player Shane Warne whose girlfriend is british actress Elizabeth Hurley. PM John Key described her as one of several women on his 'hot' list.
