- 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. 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.
