Description: A four-panel cartoon on the link between the Beehive and spying. In panel one the beehive functions as a vacuum cleaner used by a man in a GCSB apron, in the second it's a 'small tent', in the third it's a pet cone and in the fourth it sits underneath an American flag while the Prime Minister sleeps. The cartoonist comments on: New Zealand's role 'hoovering' up information for the NSA; that the review will only be conducted by two parties; that the watchdog is a docile beast; and that the 'head of our independent oversight committee' is not worried. Refers to revelations that the GCSB undertook mass surveillance in the Pacific and passed that information to the United States. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Under the caption 'NZDF surveillance photo showing a typical editorial meeting of New Zealand journalists', Che Guevara, Mao Tse Tung, Karl Marx, Adolf Hitler, a 'gormless moron', a 'bitch from hell' and other sinister types are grouped. They are journalists as conceived by the New Zealand Defence Force. Accompanying note from cartoonist states: 'An odd time we live in when it needs to be stated that journalists are not the enemy of the NZ military. Who is the "subversive" party in all this? Who is subverting a society based on free speech?' In July 2013 a New Zealand journalist, Jon Stephenson, brought a defamation case against illegal surveillance by the New Zealand Defence Force who listed him as 'subversive' after he reported unfavourably on the treament of prisoners by the Force in Afghanistan. The Defence Force used the services of the United States National Security Agency for the spying.

On 30 July 2013 Defence Minister Jonathan Coleman said he must accept assurances from the Defence Force that it did not spy on the New Zealand journalist, Jonathan Coleman with the help of the NSA while in Afghanistan. After the GCSB Amendment Bill was passed into law, the Defence Force could spy with impunity and without acknowledgement. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: A group of people and two dogs walk past the two spheres of the Waihopai satellite communications interception station. One dismisses 'All this spying nonsense' as paranoia.

Revelations by leaks into the activities of the GCSB and its links with the United States NSA and the 'Five eyes' intelligence community revealed that surveillance on 'normal people' could be very widespread and detailed.

'Cold War' is at the top of the cartoon, and and 'Things are a little frosty!' at the bottom. In August 2013 Edward Snowden, the former NSA employee, sought refuge in Moscow.

Edward Snowden in July 2013 revealed that the National Security Agency, unknown to the President, was spying on the emails, cell phones and means of communication of all of its European allies. Coming before an election in Germany, Chancellor Angela Merckel was especially concerned at the spying. There was no denial by the NSA and no indication of dropping its surveillance.

Description: Uncle Sam, at a desk marked 'Prism', guides by remote control a drone over New Zealand. His filing cabinet has its 'US Hegemony' crossed out and replaced by 'Regional Security'. Following the revelations of Edward Snowden, the United States National Security Agency through its Prism programme by spying on internet connection and phone calls was gathering data on many private citizens, including those in New Zealand. Surveillance by unmanned drones seemed to be a possibility. The official excuse for this was 'Regional Security'; was this a code word for 'US Hegemony'? Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: United State President Barack Obama takes a call from the rest of the world. The world asks 'Have you been tapping our phone?' Obama replies 'Define tapping!' The shape of the telephone receiver which he is holding is in the form of two taps. In late October 2013 European leaders, including the German Chancellor Angela Merckel, condemned as unacceptable the alleged "out-of-control" spying by the United States on citizens and governments, as it emerged that the phone calls of up to 35 world leaders could have been monitored by Washington's security agencies. Spokespeople for the White House hedged on denying the allegations when it was apparent that the spying was approved by the President himself.

Description: The Statue of Liberty peers suspiciously at a tiny John Key who is saying 'US surveillance in NZ? I'm not at liberty to say.' The issues over GCSB surveillance on New Zealanders was further increased by the whistle-blowing by Edward Snowden, a former technical contractor for NSA and employee of the CIA, of mass surveillance by the United States National Security Agency and British Government. On 9 June 2013, John Key denied that the government asked the GCSB to do anything illegal despite Snowden outlining the role of the Bureau in the Five Eyes network. The irony is that the statue representing Liberty is holding New Zealand up for inspection. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows two figures in front of a computer labelled, 'NSA global monitoring of emails.' Commentary from the artist reads 'Now that we know NSA monitors emails etc across the globe there is at least hope they have picked up Peter Dunne's emails and some action may at last be taken. I say this wryly as the government is doing its best to keep the emails hidden and Peter Dunne in parliament as a safe supporting vote till the next election. Note: in the cartoon I have used the figure 68 instead of 86 purely be mistake. Nevertheless there is a bit of uncertainity around the issue until the actually emails are revealed' Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Commentary from the artist reads "John Key's desperate cobbling together of a majority in parliament with the goal of passing uber-intrusive spying on normal New Zealanders is bizarre (considering Peter Dunne's still secret emails) and surely a betrayal of the free society we once valued'.
