"Seems that irritating noise is everywhere lately" Free speech
Date: 20 June 2010
From: Body, Guy Keverne, 1967-:Original cartoons. 1986-2011
Reference: A-453-349
Description: The cartoon shows Green Co-leader Russel Norman standing on the top step of parliament blowing the vuvuzela from which flutters a flag reading 'free speech.' A couple of men from a Chinese delegation stand beside their leader's car below and one of them says 'Seems that irritating noise is everywhere lately.' Context: Refers to Russel Norman's protest against the treatment of Tibet by China which resulted in a Tibetan flag being torn from his hands by a member of Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping's entourage when the president arrived at Parliament. The incident raised valid questions about the right of "free speech" in New Zealand, which arose from a protest involving visits from Chinese officials. The vuvuzela was in the news at the time because it was blown constantly in South Africa during World Cup football games.
