- Description
The title reads 'The Cuppa Haka' and the cartoon shows Prime Minister John Key doing a haka. Nearby is a cup of tea in whose steam appears the head of Winston Peters, leader of New Zealand First as a genie. Context: The Act Party launched its campaign on Monday 14 November with ACT MP John Banks, who is running for the controversial Epsom seat, having a cup of tea with Prime Minister John Key. The event was widely publicised and the media were invited. The content of the chat, which was not intended to be public, was recorded by the media. John Key has complained to the police. He played right into the hands of Winston Peters who treated the tea party incident as a hot topic in a public meeting in Whangarei a couple of days later. The drubbing given to the PM by Winston Peters probably contributed to the excellent result or Peters in the election on the 26th November. He held his seat and took eight NZ First politicians with him into parliament. 'Cuppa haka' is a wordplay on 'kapa haka' which means something like 'Maori performing arts'.
