Description: National Party Minister of Ethnic Affairs and Women's Affairs is thrown from a plane labeled 'Cabinet' by Prime Minister John Key who says 'Sorry Pansy... this is one flight you won't be taking!'

Refers to the resignation of Minister of Women's Affairs Pansy Wong from her portfolio after it was revealed that on a trip to China in 2008 her husband Sammy Wong was involved in a business deal. An independent investigation of travel claims by Mrs Wong and her husband Sammy was ordered by Speaker Lockwood. The trip was made with a 90 percent taxpayer-funded rebate on their airfares, and it is against the rules to use the allowance for private business. Mrs Wong has apologised and paid back the $474 rebate for the China trip. An Auditor-General's inquiry called for by the Labour opposition is not considered necessary.

Description: In four frames Maori Party MP Hone Harawira shows how he might appear if he was 'sacked from the Maori Party' and became independent. He could join the Green Party, grow dreads and say 'Peace Bro!', he could join NZ First, wear a striped suit and produce a 'Maori Gold Card', or he could join Labour, develop a gap between his two front teeth like Phil Goff and say 'Please!' in an ingratiating way. Context - The problem of criticism of his own party by maverick Maori Party MP Hone Harawira. Harawira says that many Maori believe the party has not been able to be an independent voice because of its government partnership and so Mr Harawira is calling for his party to consider its options at the next election. Mr Harawira said that the problem was exacerbated because when the Maori Party was going into coalition with National, the whole world was going into recession and when this happens their choice (National) is to help the rich guy, help the big business, on the basis that they will stay here and keep their business here and everybody will get a job He said the Maori Party needed to get back to supporting basic social policies to help the poor.

Description: Prime Minister John Key holds a paper called 'Auckland Super City Boundaries' and announces that they are not going to slice up Rodney after all. Co-leader of the Maori Party Pita Sharples who stands beside him thinks this is a pity while leader of the ACT Party Rodney Hide looks impervious. Refers to debate about which parts of wider Auckland will be included in the Auckland supercity restructuring. Refers also to the incident when Rodney Hide was recorded at a fund-raising breakfast for his party saying that Prime Minister John Key had done nothing and to Rodney Hide's attack on the use of expenses and perks by politicians and his own use of taxpayers' money to fund his girlfriend's expenses on a recent international trip, for these reasons Rodney Hide may not be so popular with the PM.

Description: Co-leaders of the Maori Party drive a car that has no tires and that is propped up on bricks by frantically running their feet backwards and forwards in midair (the car appears to have no floor); they make 'vroom vroom' noises. On the car are the words 'Maori Party Disciplinary Vehicle'. Context - criticisms of Maori Party policy and thinking by Hone Harawira have led to a complaint being laid against him by fellow Maori Party MP Te Ururoa Flavell. This means an investigation that could lead to expulsion for Hone or some sort of conciliation; the stability of the Maori Party is in jeopardy. The suggestion here is that the Maori Party is not getting very far in disciplining Hone Harawira. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The Queen and Prince Philip are dealing with their correspondence, much of which relates to the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Prince Philip answers the phone and indignantly says 'I don't know where you got that idea but being a unionist and gay won't get you onto our party list!' Context - Someone has confused the royal wedding invitation list with the NZ Labour Party list. The royal wedding is on 29 April. Labour MP Damien O'Connor has said sorry after lashing out about a "gaggle of gays" and "self-serving unionists" having too much control over the party list. Mr O'Connor said a number of people had been overlooked in the ranking process. "Provincial MPs in the Labour Party have ended up being isolated ... there's a risk that then the party doesn't represent the wider New Zealand." Leader Phil Goff said Mr O'Connor had been told off for the comments, but that the "West Coast language" was actually likely to help him in his bid for the electorate.
