Winston Peters has always courted controversy with his 'divisive demagoguery' and use of 'alarmist and inflammatory language'.

Description: Text reads 'A plunge against the greenback after interest rate comments' and the cartoon shows the words 'NZ DOLLAR' from which the 'o', represented by a one dollar coin, has slipped. The kiwi on the coin says 'cent-less behaviour'. Context - The New Zealand dollar fell 0.8 percent to 74.10 U.S. cents as of 4:59 p.m. in Wellington from 74.72 cents yesterday in New York. Key's remarks were his most explicit on the outlook for borrowing costs since the Feb. 22 temblor devastated New Zealand's second-largest city. The central bank has kept rates unchanged since July after two increases in the middle of last year, and a reduction would contrast with steps by counterparts around the world to check escalating inflation pressures. The Prime Minister was criticised for saying he was expecting a cut and would welcome it. The Reserve Bank is supposed to be completely independent of the government.

Description: The heading of the cartoon is 'Tuhoe takeaway...' The head of Prime Minister John Key is shown as a hamburger - a 'KEYwi burger'. There is also a play on the word 'takeaway' in the sense of 'fast food' but also in the sense of Tuhoe feeling as though the Urewera National Park has been 'taken away' from them. The 'burger' reference applies to the 'joke' by PM John Key when speaking at a tourism event in Auckland; Mr Key made a joke about enjoying a dinner at a Ngati Porou marae on the East Coast this week. He said 'the good news is that I was having dinner with Ngati Porou as opposed to their neighbouring iwi, which is Tuhoe, in which case I would have been dinner, which wouldn't have been quite so attractive'. The joke has been labelled badly timed and insensitive by a Maori Party MP. It was specifically referring to Key's apparent about turn by denying that Tuhoe would ever be granted ownership of the Urewera National Park after Tuhoe believed that this was going to be the case.
