Description: Depicts National Party List MP Aaron Gilmore as a motorcyclist on a spoof movie poster. Refers to the timing of the release by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) of emails which were written by Aaron Gilmore when he was contracted to work as a senior policy analyst for former Department of Building and Housing. They are said to reveal that he used his position to bully a colleague. This follows the scandal that erupted over Gilmore's behaviour to a waiter at a Hanmer Springs restaurant. Commentary from the artist: "The cartoon is a spoof of the film "The World's Fastest Indian" about Burt Munro and his highspeed motorcycle feats. In the cartoon, the high speed refers to way civil servants sped through an OIA in a climate of National Party urgent desire to discredit MP Aaron Gilmore. The 'rider' depicted is a non-specific person representing the Wellington bureaucracy." Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
