Description: Shows Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull seated at his desk with a soft-toy panda in front of him. An assistant asks him "This southern delegation you're leading to Wellington, your worship... When would you like to go?" and he replies "Umm... When's the Dalai Lama next in town?" Two marginal birds comment: "Thrifty beggar... two birds with one stone!" Refers to an event earlier in 2013, when the Dalai Lama visited Dunedin in June. In May, Dunedin Mayor, Dave Cull, turned down introducing the Dalai Lama at a public talk, reportedly calling him "the representative of a minority religious faith" and "the leader of a minority sect". Cull later said he was unavailable because of a meeting in Wellington. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Three businessmen stand inside the new Dunedin stadium; one looks at the roof and says 'It's astonishing what can be done with plastic' and another says 'Sure is an amazing thing... the credit card!' Context: Dunedin's new hi-tech $190 million indoor stadium was opened by Prime Minister John Key this morning (Saturday 6 August 2011). The 105-metre roof is made of 20,500 square metres of Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) which allows 90% of the UV light from the sun to pass through it. Construction of the stadium began in June 2009 with some locals initially sceptical of the project, but Mayor Dave Cull said it is important locals support it. "The product was never in doubt, it was the affordability and financial risk of it," he said. (tvnz.co.nz: August 5 2011) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The cartoon shows the tents of protesters in Dunedin's Octagon. Above them is the statue of Scots poet Robbie Burns who recites one of his poems 'What is Right, and What is Wrang, by the law, by the law? What is Right and what is Wrang by the law? What is Right, and waht is Wrang? A short sword, and a lang, a weak arm and a strang, for to draw.'* The asterisk refers to a note 'Ye Jacobites by name - R. Burns'. The statue is flanked by a baffled policeman and the Mayor of Dunedin, Dave Cull, who is tearing his hair. Context: Relates to the protest movement dubbed 'Occupy' after 'Occupy Wall Street' that began in New York and spread across the western world. The protests were against capitalism and corporate greed. Dunedin police have ruled out taking action they are not aware of any activity by the protestors that would justify police intervention. Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull says he is 'completely at a loss' after police ruled out taking action. [TVNZ November 9 2011] Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
