Description: Text reads 'News - NZ has turned down a U.N. request to supply a warship for piracy patrol'. A waka containing several fierce and armed Maori activists chugs through the water; one of the activists holds a banner that reads 'Leave the COAST alone you @!F*#@!' and another is Hone Harawira. Someone from the United Nations outside the frame says 'NZ said this would be scarier - but we've just got to ensure they stay on our side'. Context - New Zealand has turned down a United Nations request to provide a warship for piracy patrols, probably off the coast of Africa. Defence Minister Wayne Mapp said the navy had too much on currently to send one of its two Anzac frigate, and so the waka is being sent instead but the U.N. is worried about their loyalty. Refers also to Hone Harawira's resigning from the Maori Party because of disagreement over policy, perceived disloyalty. Published in the Shipping Gazette Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Prime Minister John Key has leapt from the psychiatrist's couch and now hides fearfully behind a curtain as the spectral figure of the leader of New Zealand First, Winston Peters, looms at a window. The psychiatrist busily takes notes. Context: New Zealand First, having won no seats in 2008 due to its failure to either reach the 5% threshold or win an electorate, made a comeback with 6.6% of the vote entitling them to eight seats. Winston Peters is often regarded as a highly entertaining maverick politician - perhaps a loose cannon with an ability to embarrass the government. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
