- Description
In the first two of three frames a note reading 'Govt spying allegation' is dropped, and then covered by a pair of hands. In the third frame Prime Minister John Key is shown clutching the paper as he crouches under a table. Nearby is Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom who tells Key to 'Then tremble'. Context: Refers to the Dotcom affair which led to an embarrassing fiasco when the police made an illegal raid on the home of Internet emtrepreneur Kim Dotcom, who has New Zealand residency. The reason for the raid was an extradition desire by the United States who are charging Dotcom with copyright enfringement offences. Refers also to the national civil defence emergency drill held on 26 September 2012. Titled 'Drop, cover and hold', the aim was to prepare New Zealanders to survive a major earthquake.
