- Description
The cartoon shows a steaming cup of tea with ears as handles, eyes and a mouth covered with sticky tape. It is accompanied by the words 'Hear today... gone tomorrow?' The title is 'The "tea-tape" saga and further text in large print reads 'THE HIGH COURT RULING IS [PRIVATE]'. A second version lacks the word 'private', a third version has the words '[watch this space]' after 'the high court ruling is' and a fourth version has the same wording as the third but the tea cup is unadorned. 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. The various versions of the cartoon depend upon the outcome of the investigation.
Quantity: 4 digital cartoon(s).
