Description: Context: Refers to Prime Minister John Key's observation that the media has turned against him to some degree. Paul Buchannan writing on the Kiwipolitico blog said this is a welcome development, that the media gave Key the "press equivalent of a free pass for the first three years in spite of often equivocal, deceptive or disingenuous answers to anything other than patsy question". Furthermore, Buchannan argues that the changing orientation of the media is largely a response to Keys own actions in particular his conduct during the teapot tape saga where he attempted "to have the photographer prosecuted, following on his defamatory and/or contemptuous treatment of individual members of the press corps".

Description: 'The Politician' cartoon strip. The minister's secretary says that calling our leader a 'strange fellow' is a mild comment compared with what our leader is now calling you. Context: During the 'teapot tape' incident John Banks, the ACT candidate for New Zealand First was alleged to have called his leader, Don Brash, a 'strange fellow'. Prime Minister John Key had a cup of tea with ACT Party Epsom candidate John Banks in a Newmarket cafe on 11 November 2011 and invited media as a photo opportunity to demonstrate National Party support for Banks' election to Parliament in 2011 General Elections.

John Key laid a complaint to police over the taping of his conversation with Banks, and refused to grant permission for publication of the conversation. Ambrose sought a ruling by the High Court on whether it was a private or public conversation. Justice Helen Winkleman declined to make a declaratory order. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
