Description: Cartoon shows the Labour Member of Parliament, Shane Jones, telling the Labour Opposition Leader, David Shearer, 'I gave the Chinese millionaire a NZ passport because he was told he'd be executed and his organs harvested if he was sent back...'. Shearer's reaction is 'Aw geez..I want to rip out your brain!... In 2008, when Jones was Minister of Immigration, he approved the citizenship application of Chinese businessman William Yan who was later charged with making false declarations. On 23 May 2012, Jones stood down from his shadow portfolios while an investigation took place. Shearer asked the Auditor-General to investigate Jones' acting against advice to decline the application because of Yan's multiple identities and a warrant for his arrest in China. Jones claimed his decision was based on humanitarian grounds because a Government official had told him that Yan faced execution if he returned to China. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
