Date: 2009

From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons

Reference: DCDL-0012135

Description: Prime Minister John Key welcomes Pita Sharples, Co-leader of the Maori Party, to a seat in the sun but points him towards a seat that represents 'Foreshore seabed concession' because all the 'Auckland supercity seats' are taken. Refers to the argument about Maori seats on the supercity council which Pita Sharples advocates. The suggestion in the cartoon is that because the Maori Party has already won what can be seen as a concession in the Foreshore and Seabed debate, (a review) they should not expect to get the seats that they want on the supercity council.

Date: 2005

From: Tremain, Garrick, 1941- :[Digital cartoons published in the Otago Daily Times]

Reference: DCDL-0000199

Description: There are two scenes. In the first we see a reporter with a hand-held vieo-recorder interviewing three black people, presumably refugees from New Orleans after the Hurricane Katrina disaster. The father is saying cynically that after ten days the water looked so much like oil that President Bush got interested. This refers to his rather slow response to the disaster. In the second scene we see Winston Peters throwing mud, (presumably at an unseen Bob Clarkson). This refers to his falling behind National candidate, Bob Clarkson, in the polls, and slinging an old sexual harrassment accusation at him. The link between the two cartoons is Other Titles - "After ten days the water looked so much like oil Mr Bush got interested." Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Chair of the Otago District Health Board sacked. 31 January 2009.

Date: 2009

From: Tremain, Garrick, 1941- :[Digital cartoons published in the Otago Daily Times]

Reference: DCDL-0010226

Description: A dog with the head of Health Minister, Tony Ryall, barks furiously at Richard Thomson, the chair of the Otago District Health Board, who is standing at a hospital window. Prime Minister, John Key, (who broke his arm in an accident) tells Ryall that Thomson is 'not going to budge' and that he should 'try Bainimarama instead'. Refers to the conviction for fraud of two of Richard Thomson's staff; Thomson himself was held accountable and eventually replaced, though not before he had told Tony Ryall that he wasn't going to resign and that Ryall should show the courage of his convictions and sack him, because the fraud had begun before he had even joined the ODHB and he himself had initiated the investigation which brought the matter to a head. A defiant Mr Thomson told NZPA he believed the real motivation to sack him was because he was a Labour Party member. Mr Ryall's decision reeked of political interference, he said.The fraud actually involved the DHB's former chief information officer Michael Swann and his friend and business associate Kerry Harford were found guilty in December last year of defrauding the board $16.9 million. The fraud happened over a period of six years. The reference to Bainimarama relates to his refusing to make a date for democratic elections in Fiji in spite of an ultimatum from the Pacific Forum.
