From: Doyle, Martin Maurice Michael Thomas, 1956- :Digital cartoons

Reference: DCDL-0030667

Description: Accompanying note from cartoonist states, 'It's a measure of the times we live in that neither the media nor New Zealanders in general seem worried that parliament can 'remove' rights supposedly guaranteed under our Bill of Rights. Prisoners are themselves victims of a serious constitutional crime. Given our noble history of women's suffrage, it's amazing no women have spoken up on behalf of women prisoners.

Doyle, Martin, 1956- :Two wrongs. 28 January 2015

Date: 2015

From: Doyle, Martin Maurice Michael Thomas, 1956- :Digital cartoons

By: Scoop (Firm)

Reference: DCDL-0031200

Description: Accompanying note from cartoonist states "The case being mounted in the Auckland High Court against John Key by prisoner Arthur Taylor has great merit. The law passed by Parliament in 2010 that blocks the right of prisoners to vote flies in the face of our own Bill of Rights. Section 12 of the NZBOR, one would have thought, guarantees the right to vote to all adults aged 18 and over. The cartoon depicts a prisoner labouring under this unfair 'leg iron'. But the leg iron itself is a form of crime committed by the State." Depicts a prisoner inside prison walls straining at a leg-iron labelled ‘THEFT of right to vote’. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Date: 2009

From: Winter, Mark, 1958- : Digital cartoons published in the Southland Times and other papers

Reference: DCDL-0012226

Description: Cartoon shows a set of traffic lights with the Beehive in the background. Text states that the traffic lights around parliament have had a sex change and now show flashing women instead if men; it then suggests that the lights might better be left blank to represent all the hidden agendas. Prime Minister John Key and Wellington Mayor Kerry Prendergast have launched the "Capital City Initiative - Our Extraordinary Democracy" which aims to improve the area around Parliament in preparation for the city's 150th anniversary in 2015. The area will be rebranded Capital Centre. The idea of changing the little green man on the traffic lights around Parliament to a little green woman is a reference to votes for women. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
