- Description
The cartoon shows Prime Minister John Key representing the 'Govt' acting as referee in a rugby scrum. The rugby ball represents 'Covert filming law'. In the first three of six cameos the PM acts so slowly that when he calls for support, it has dwindled away and he is left red-faced, scrabbling for the ball. Text across the top of all six cameos reads 'Parliamentary tactics... slow... slow... slow.... slow.... knock on! Use it or lose it?..' Context: Attorney-General Chris Finlayson has defended the Government's quest to push through an urgent law next week to allow secret filming on private property by police. The change would be a short-term measure until the Search and Surveillance Bill is passed in the next term of government. The legislation, rushed through after 13 of the 17 accused from the Urewera raids had their cases thrown out because the secret filming surveillance used in evidence, was deemed illegal. The short term law change would allow police to use covert video evidence in about 50 ongoing investigations.
