Description: A snail carrying the briefcase of the 'Auditor General' slides up to the 'Parliament Security' desk and says 'I've come to talk to Pansy..' The security guard tells the snail 'I'm sorry, but you've missed her, she's Wong gone...' Context; Pansy Wong resigned 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 Smith. 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: A member of parliament is annoyed when he hears that MPs are to lose their travel perks but brightens when he realizes that they will get a pay rise to compensate. Context - Just before Christmas 2010, the Remuneration Authority, the independent body that sets politicians' pay, confirmed a 1.4 percent increase for their pay, backdated to July and a one-off $2000 payment to cover the reduced use of MPs' travel subsidy. The rise boosts Prime Minister John Key's salary to $400,500 and a backbencher's to $134,800. A further lump sum is also expected early this year after the travel perk was scrapped. Critics consider this greedy and insensitive at a time when many New Zealanders are struggling. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The title of the cartoon reads 'Richard Branson slams alliance rejection with Air New Zealand'. The words 'Virgin Blue' are in the centre of the frame. Richard Branson wearing a tshirt bearing the words 'Plane tiff' says 'You can't have the Trans-Tasman route losing its virginity'. Refers to the news the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission blocked a proposed alliance with Air NZ on the transtasman route. Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Group Chairman, told ABC he is baffled by ACCC's decision: "They have said in the past that Qantas and Air New Zealand can form an alliance if they so wished. And Qantas has alliances with British Airways; they have alliances with numerous airlines around the world. All we ask the competition authorities to do is to treat Virgin Blue, which is a much smaller airline, in an equal way and allow us to create a level playing field." Blue has already withdrawn from New Zealand domestic routes because of steep losses and Branson told Australia's ABC radio that flights from Australia to New Zealand under the Blue's Pacific Blue brand "were losing money." "We think if we can work together with Air New Zealand, we can offer a proper competitor to Qantas," Branson argued. "If we're a strong competitor, we can keep fares low and we can keep Qantas honest and we believe that's in the interest of the traveling public."
