Description: Cappucino Dreams. In the first of four frames Finance Minister Bill English carrying his briefcase and a load of banknotes labelled 'housing subsidy', explains that he must work here in Wellington even though his home is in Southland. In the second frame his children are shown learning the ways of commerce in the school tuckshop; in the third frame Bill English explains that our experts have been able to postpone climate change until the farmers and carbon burners have made their profits and in the last frame he is shown arriving at his Karori home with the Beehive in the distance and 'Southland' on the gate. Refers to Bill English's embarrassing struggle with his Karori houng subsidy, and to the New Zealand's ETS strategy, a deal that has been stitched up between the National government and the Maori Party without the Labour Party that has resulted in taxpayers subsidizing big business and farmers for the next four years. (until 2013) The deal between the two parties provides that the new emissions trading scheme (ETS) will halve the cost of energy increases to consumers but polluting industries will have an easier ride and longer to adjust through taxpayer subsidies.

Description: A couple of tourists in a car arrive in Dipton and are held up by a flock of sheep. The farmer tells them that the new popularity of Dipton as a tourist destination is due to 'Good ol' Bill!' who has 'put us on the map even though he doesn't live here!' A roadside sign reads 'Welcome to Double Dipton Home of Bill English'. Refers to news that Bill English was claiming nearly $1000 a week to live in his family house in Wellington in spite of fact that the English's family trust owns the $1.2 million house in Karori; he claims his real home is in Dipton. Wordplay with 'Double Dipton' and 'double dipping'. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Text reads 'The hitchhiker on the Labour Party's leadership lane'; the cartoon depicts a naked and sweating Phil Goff, Leader of the Labour Party, reaches from behind some bushes late in the evening to thumb a lift. Context - Phil Goff's leadership is being called to question in the run-up to the November election. The cartoon has been suggested by an alleged incident that has brought about the downfall of Labour MP, Darren Hughes. The incident involves an 18-year-old male who, after a night of drinking, ended up in Mr Hughes' home; in the early hours of the morning witnesses saw a man who matched the description of the young man, naked and trying to hitch a ride in the Wellington suburb of Haitaitai. Colour and black and white versions of this cartoon are available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

Description: In a series of four frames Jaimee tells Debbie about her ideas for making Wellington a super city as well. This in light of debate over making Auckland a super city with a single mayor and council. She suggests that there could be a military operation and Petone, the Hutt, Porirua, Paraparaumu, Levin, and Palmerston North would all fall like dominoes. When Debbie in her pragmatic way wonders what will happen after that, Jaimee sighs and goes home to watch the 'Where the wild things are' trailer again. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Cartoon shows Prime Minister, Phil Goff in a can of worms labelled 'John's electoral system turmoil' and Minister for Local Government, Rodney Hide, in a second can of worms labelled 'Rodney's Chunky Auckland Super City Chaos'. In the background is a third can labelled 'Ministerial Housing Rort'. John Key says that if you hold your nose and shut your eyes they are yum. Refers to the decision that the Government will spend millions of dollars holding a referendum on whether MMP should be dumped - a system Prime Minister John Key thinks New Zealanders are increasingly comfortable with. Mr Key said National would hold the referendum to honour its election pledge and let people "kick the tyres" of the electoral system. Refers also to the rows over the supercity which are about Maori representation on the council and how much of Auckland is included among other things.

Description: The cartoon shows a town planner trying to persuade a surf life-saver and a chef from the Maranui Surf Life Saving Club to accept a plan for a 'gleaming featureless edifice that could be anywhere' rather than return to the 'draughty, creaky, noisy, old, admittedly quaint building that's utterly unique to this coastline'. On Saturday 1st August 2009 the club was severely damaged by a fire caused by damaged electrical wiring. The fire started in the basement of the building and worked its way through to the ground level store room and up into the cafe. Destruction of the area of the store room and office meant that most of the records and archives of the club and cafe were destroyed. The building has a hole through the centre and there is significant fire, smoke and water damage to most of the building. However, the structural damage is around 25% and this gives the club confidence that the building will be repaired. The building owners, Wellington City Council, will make this decision within the next few weeks in consultation with their insurers. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Tony is sceptical that Warner Brothers will agree to filming 'The Hobbit' in New Zealand if they find they can 'save a single cent by moving the Hobbit to Slovakia'. He selflessly says that the only people who really miss out are the actors and then realises with dismay that this is not true, that all the crew will miss out too. Jaimee says sarcastically that they love it when the 'warm props express an opinion'. Refers to the stouch between Warner Brothers, represented by Peter Jackson, and NZ Actors Equity over a union demand for negotiations over the terms and conditions offered in the contracts for actors and others working on the film that very nearly caused the film to be made somewhere else.
