Description: Shows Jim Anderton knocking John Kirk backwards out of his seat (labelled 'Sydenham') by pressing a button on the side of the chair. David Lange looks on in bewilderment. Refers to July 1983, when John Kirk announced that he would not seek the Labour Party's nomination for Sydenham in the 1984 election. In his place Labour selected Jim Anderton, the party president, whereupon Kirk (a strong David Lange supporter) declared that he would stand against the official Labour candidate as an independent. His continuing opposition to Anderton's selection resulted in the Labour Party's New Zealand Council suspending him from membership of the Labour Party Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - Minhinnick [in ink]; Recto - beneath image - NZ Herald, 9.8.83 [in ink] Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s).
