Description: Features Sir Douglas Graham naked after being 'stripped' by The Queen [who is holding his clothing]. This follows the story published in the New Zealand Herald on 30 May 2013 about the possibility that Graham's knighthood could be taken away from him depending upon the outcome of a decision by the Court of Appeal, relating to the Lombard Finance directors and whether they made untrue statements about Lombard's position in offer documents in December 2007. Accompanying note from cartoonist states 'I liked the knighthood system when the Queen ran it. It had values once. My cartoon depicts Sir Doug Graham, The Queen, and three Kiwis expressing current views on this question. The theme of stripping feeds off the media phrase "Should the government strip Doug Graham of his knighthood?". The comment "This is racist" plays off the current tendency for commentators to call anything they can't understand "racist".' Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
