Description: Arrangement of text with central panel showing two scenes: at left the guards sleeping at the U S missile depot; and at right, some sheep asking Mr Thompson about Tangimoana. He replies that it is an installation for rersearch and rescue operations to help and protect New Zealanders. The text below suggests that Tangimoana is part of a US world-wide electronic spying system called Bullseye, and is probably a foreign base. This is likely to make New Zealand a nuclear target.

Description: Two men, one from the Ministry of Defence, are discussing the country's defence strategy in the event that New Zealand is not part of the ANZUS alliance. New Zealand had put strain on the alliance by taking an anti-nuclear stand, which the U.S. could not adhere to. The two men are contemplating archaic defence methods including bows and arrows, 'non-nuclear missile launchers' and boiling oil. The reference to Marsden Point as the source of boiling oil refers to the constant shut-downs at the Marsden Point oil refinery. Extended Title - Contingency plan for N.Z. defence if ANZUS folds Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s).
