Reference: DCDL-0012135
Description: Prime Minister John Key welcomes Pita Sharples, Co-leader of the Maori Party, to a seat in the sun but points him towards a seat that represents 'Foreshore seabed concession' because all the 'Auckland supercity seats' are taken. Refers to the argument about Maori seats on the supercity council which Pita Sharples advocates. The suggestion in the cartoon is that because the Maori Party has already won what can be seen as a concession in the Foreshore and Seabed debate, (a review) they should not expect to get the seats that they want on the supercity council.

Michelle Boag is a senior executive at Momentum in the public relations field, and Dame Jenny Shipley is on the Momentum Consulting Group board. The CV scandal refers to Momentum's part in the appointment of Roger Wilce as a top scientist in the Defence Force and his dismissal after his credentials were found to be false.

Michelle Boag has been involved in an email scandal in which she asked the recipient in an email bearing the company's logo to let her know if they wanted to contribute to Mr Banks' campaign. In another email also bearing Momentum livery and under the heading "John Banks for Mayor", Ms Boag says she wants "a more experienced Mayor for the first Super City which will also help the National Party to another term in central government".

Speaking of mining... 5 April 2010
Date: 2010
From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons
Reference: DCDL-0014057
Description: The cartoon shows the entrance to the 'Sharples Gold Mine' which is in a hillside with the features of Pita Sharples, Co-leader of the Green Party. Text above reads 'Speaking of mining...' A man muttering 'Fools Gold' pushes a wheelbarrow loaded with a great nugget that bears the words 'Democracy is an artificial political concoction'. According to Dr Sharples, the essence of democracy is not one person one vote, which he describes as an "artificial political concoction" but "goals towards equity ... and inclusiveness". Dr Sharples' ideas about the nature of democracy are being vented because he is frustrated by the Government's refusal to set aside two seats on the Auckland super-city council for Maori - because of this he believes that democracy is failing Maori, that the principal of one person one vote will not give Maori representation. The reference to mining is because the government intends to test drill for minerals in several national parks. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
