Description: A man and woman sit on the deck reading the newspaper which features a headline that reads 'I wouldn't mind... John Key'. Their young son says 'Hey Dad - you know you said you wouldn't care who sis came home with as long as she was happy...?' Behind him his sister floats along the path in a cloud of cannabis hand in hand with a dazed-looking bikie clutching a beer bottle. Context - Maori Party MP, Hone Harawira was asked how he would feel if one of his seven children came home with a Pakeha and he replied: "I wouldn't feel comfortable. Like all Pakehas would be happy with their daughter coming home with a Maori boy - and the answer is they wouldn't." Mr Key said he found Mr Harawira's views ridiculous. "It depends on you as an individual but I wouldn't care what ethnicity my kids dated as long as they are happy." (NZH - 3 August 2010) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The cartoon shows PM John Key declaiming 'My relationship with my brown brothers has never been warmer'; he finishes with an 'Oops!' as he drops a 'Urewera bombshell'. In the background stands a group of angry Maori with a raincloud above them' they are from left; Tariana Turia and Pita Sharples, co-leaders of the Maori Party, then Hone Harawira?, Maori Party MP and Tuhoe Maori activist Tame Iti. Refers to the apparent about turn made by John Key after Tuhoe believed they were going to be granted ownership of the Urewera National Park. Chief Tuhoe negotiator Tamati Kruger said information gleaned from the corridors of Parliament before Mr Key's announcement indicated a majority of Cabinet supported returning the 212,000-hectare national park to Tuhoe. He said it appeared Mr Key had "intervened" at the end of an 18-month negotiation process based on worries expressed at last weekend's National Party regional meeting in Masterton, where concerns were raised that the Government was making too many concessions to Maori.
