Description: Shows the name 'Tauranga' painted like a path across the cartoon. Two politicians walk along it; the first is Bob Clarkson, National MP, who has just tendered his resignation and walks 'flip flop' in jandals and second comes Winston Peters, leader of New Zealand First, who goes 'stump stump'.

Reference: DCDL-0017518

Description: Text reads 'Labour announces list, which contains lots of "fresh blood"'. Below, Count Dracula with the words 'Vote Count' printed on his cloak, rubs his hands with glee and says 'Tempting'. A second version has the count say 'All votes count but do all counts vote?' Context - The Labour Party has put at least seven newcomers into winnable slots on its list for this year's election, most of them with a union background. If Labour maintains the 34 per cent vote it received at the last election and keeps its current electorate seats, it will have about 22 list MPs, meaning all in the top 37 of the list get seats in Parliament. The 'fresh blood' comment probably refers to the disastrous fall of Darren Hughes who was considered a rising star and who has resigned following allegations of sexual misconduct. Two versions of this cartoon are available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).
