Description: Shows a scene from the Mad Hatter's tea-party (Alice in Wonderland). Prime Minister, John Key, is the White rabbit and the ACT candidate for the hotly contested Epsom seat in the 2011 election, John Banks, is the Mad Hatter. The title reads 'Tea tape embarrassing for PM - Herald editor'. The PM pours from a teapot labelled 'Spin!' and the steam reads 'News of the World tactics bleat'. He comments 'Smoke screen'. Context: 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. Cameraman Bradley Ambrose left his equipment on the table and perhaps unwittingly recorded their conversation. The recordings were given to The Herald on Sunday, but not published. 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. The News of the World' comment relates to the phone hacking scandal which caused owner Rupert Murdoch to close down the paper. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s) digital image..
