From: Nisbet, Alastair, 1958- :Digital cartoons

By: Press (Christchurch, N.Z.); Goff, Philip Bruce (Hon), 1953-; New Zealand Labour Party

Reference: DCDL-0018733

Description: Two men stand on top of an enormous heap of tailings in the midst of thick bush. The heap has three shafts that appear as the Labour Party logo, the letter 'L'. One of the men says 'This mine's out of riches Phil... In three months ya won't see it for bush!' The name 'Green Party' is printed across the trees in the distance. Context: The mine represents the Labour Party being devoid of riches, ie. ideas that are impressing voters. The Greens are gaining a lot of support at Labour's expense. The bush is likely to encroach on and maybe overtake Labour. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

From: Evans, Malcolm Paul, 1945- :Digital cartoons

By: Goff, Philip Bruce (Hon), 1953-; Key, John Phillip (Rt Hon), 1961-

Reference: DCDL-0018243

Description: Labour leader Phil Goff is depicted as a tailor. He sits on a chair sewing a patch entitled 'Capital Gains Tax' onto an old deflated hot-air balloon that represents 'Old left principle' and which is attached by ropes to a basket representing 'New right baggage'. Floating in the air in a second hot-air balloon is PM John Key who waves cheerfully. Context: In the run up to the 2011 elections in November the Labour Party is trailing far behind the National Party. The cartoon suggests that Labour is being held back by old Labour principles and new right baggage from the 4th Labour government in the 1980s (Rogernomics) and is trying to attract interest and votes with the Capital Gains Tax idea. Colour and black and white versions available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).
