- Description
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet reaches out to shake hands with Prime Minister, Helen Clark. Helen Clark, disguised with a big nose, moustache and spectacles, denies ever having met him before. Refers to the visit by the Dalai Lama to New Zealand in June 2007 and the vexed question of whether the Prime Minister would meet him because of strained relations between China and Tibet. In the event Helen Clark met the Dalai Lama briefly in the lounge of Brisbane Airport.
At the time, 2007, both Australia and New Zealand were locked in free-trade talks with China, which was sensitive about the exiled Tibetan leader receiving formal recognition overseas.
