Description: A pansy with the face of MP Pansy Wong grows in a pot labelled 'Wong perks'. Beside the pot is a bag of fertiliser in which a trowel with the face of PM John Key stands; he says 'I'm not protecting her!!' Above is a rhyme entitled 'Pansies', which reads 'Grow best in loose rich soil. Decline in the heat. Do not last a full season. Need water and fertiliser'. Refers to the resignation of Minister of Women's Affairs Pansy Wong after it was revealed that on a trip to China in 2008 her husband Sammy Wong was involved in a business deal. An independent investigation of travel claims by Mrs Wong and her husband Sammy was ordered by Speaker Lockwood. The trip was made with a 90 percent taxpayer-funded rebate on their airfares, and it is against the rules to use the allowance for private business. Mrs Wong has apologised and paid back the $474 rebate for the China trip. An Auditor-General's inquiry called for by the Labour opposition is not considered necessary.

Description: Minister of Transport, Stephen Joyce, leans out of the window of a car that is being driven by Minister for the Rugby World Cup across the 'buck-passing lane' that has been built above the 'Veolia RWC Express'. The train is crammed and quite overloaded with people trying to get to a rugby match. Stephen Joyce says 'Don't worry we can fix this with more money for roads'. Context: The transport and overcrowding problems during the Rugby World Cup opening in Auckland caused some considerable embarrassment. Around 2000 fans missed the opening ceremony or whole match between Tonga and New Zealand at Eden Park, after trains came to a standstill on parts of the network and ferries were cancelled into the city because of large crowds blocking the terminal at Queen's Wharf. The cartoon suggests that the government thinks it will be able to buy people's good will by building more roads. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
