Description: The cartoon shows four frames that depict significant current events; the first shows a All Black flag with a silver fern and is called 'Winners', the second shows 'losers' standing against an Auckland city backdrop, bitter about having 'missed the opening ceremony', the third shows a 'flash-mob' of hairy Scots pipers and the last shows leader of the ACT party, Don Brash, streaking in his white y-fronts with a placard that reads 'De-criminalise Dope! Vote ACT.' Context: The first three frames relate to the Rugby World Cup; the All Blacks have not yet won the cup, many people missed the opening in Auckland because of transport chaos, flashmobs hit Auckland streets. The last refers to the decision by Don Brash to support the decriminalisation of marijuana. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
