Description: Digital cartoon by Sharon Murdoch depicting Labour MP Nanaia Mahuta and Green Party MPs Jan Logie and Catherine Delahunty. Logie is on the phone with Australia, offering Prime Minister John Key in exchange for New Zealanders being held at Christmas Island. Mahuta and Delahunty offer to "throw in a deaf speaker of the house to sweeten the deal", and remind Australia that Key was recently ranked the 48th hottest head of state. The cartoon references an incident in Parliament where Speaker David Carter ejected several women MPs out of the House after they identified themselves as survivors of sexual assault and called for the Prime Minister to apologise for his comments that the opposition "back[s] the rapists". Accompanying note from the cartoonist states: 'In Parliament Key, in response to concerns expressed by Labour and Greens at treatment of Christmas Island detainees, accuses them of supporting rapists, murderers and child molesters. In actuality few of them are. A number of MPs walk out in protest. Afterwards the Speaker of the House, David Carter claims not to have heard Key's statement. Published Chch Press'.
