He forced a by-election in his electorate, Te Tai Tokerau, in spite of being only four weeks away from the six-month cut-off period in which by-elections could not be held and thereby sparked accusations of hypocrisy for incurring a $500,000 bill for taxpayers (because of his criticism of $36 million being spent on the America's Cup yacht race instead on Christchurch. He won the by-election by a narrow margin from the Labour candidate; the Maori Party ranked a very distant third. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
