Description: Shows United Future leader Peter Dunne and John Key. They address the viewer: Dunne says "Kiwis are making a fuss because they don't like furtive, undemocratic, state snooping..." while Key says "...But when my servile colleagues have pushed this thing through they'll soon get used to it." A marginal figure at bottom right comments: "Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, it's a Dunne and dusted." Refers to the Government Communications Security Bureau and Related Legislation Amendment Bill, which is awaiting its second reading, and the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Bill, which is before Parliaments commerce select committee. The legislation is intended to extend the Government's right to collect intelligence on New Zealanders. The cartoonist also comments on a perception that the Prime Minister is not taking the views of New Zealanders into account when enacting this legislation. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows Prime Minister John Key standing at a podium, responding to questions about American intelligence officials in New Zealand. Key responds, 'It's probably on a piece of paper somewhere.' Meanwhile, there is a memo stating, 'spooks coming' stuck to his forehead. Context: After days of curiosity about the American spy jet parked at Wellington Airport, Key has admitted it flew in a senior US spy to meet one of New Zealand's intelligence agencies, but claimed he couldn't remember any further details, stating, "Well I have a broad idea that, why they were here. But I don't know the individual's name, I can't recall it. It may be on a piece of paper somewhere but I can't recall it". (One News, 3 Dec 2012) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows John Key, seen from behind, in discussion with Ian Fletcher. Key says "As a politician, Ian, I like to find compromises" while Fletcher replies "That's good, John, because as your good buddy at the GCSB, our intelligence service will be compromised to its core." Refers to media debate over the appointment of Ian Fletcher, allegedly a friend of Key's, to the role of head of the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB). Accompanying note from cartoonist states: 'The irregular recruiting of Ian Fletcher by John Key for the GCSB job introduces the 'poison' of political capture to a body that needs to be unbiased and clear-headed. My cartoon depicts the nape of John Key and the face of GCSB D/G Ian Fletcher, over breakfast. The title 'Spies on toast' is meant to suggest spies having been totally outwitted, captured, compromised by the National Party's John Key.' Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The cartoon depicts Daffy Duck as the 'PM' John Key who says 'Suspicious Israelis? Nah They were just backpackers!' He is surrounded by suitcases with 'Warner Bros', 'Washington' and 'White House' on the labels. Context: Prime Minister John Key is about to leave for the USA where he is being welcomed to the White House on Friday, July 22 by President Obama. The Southland Times reported on 20th July that an Israeli national killed in the February Christchurch Earthquake was a Mossad spy. PM John Key has confirmed that an investigation into the four Israelis involved was carried out by police and the SIS but he said no evidence was found of a link between the group and Israeli intelligence. It would seem that the group were backpackers, not Mossad agents. While he is in the US PM John Key is having a private dinner with senior executives of Warner Brothers. The company received tax breaks and forced changes to employment law in return for making the Hobbit in New Zealand, and Key believes more film companies will follow.
