Description: The misbehaving List Member of Parliament, Aaron Gilmore, is a large fly perched on a jar of National ointment, advertised as 'A Soothing balm for all ailments - apply daily for best results'. John Key approaches with a fly swat, saying that with the good news about employment and the economy, he is 'sick and tired of hearing about Aaron Gilmore!' The drunken escapades of Aaron Gilmore and his subsequent non-aplogies were overshadowing the news about the slight improvement in employment and economic indices that the National government was promoting. By 12 May, the government had decided to no longer defend him and encouraged his resignation. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
