Date: 2011
From: Doyle, Martin Maurice Michael Thomas, 1956- :Digital cartoons
By: Salient (Newspaper)
Reference: DCDL-0017611
Description: Text reads 'Could the wrecking ball be used on structures outside Christchurch?' The cartoon shows Minister for the Reconstruction of Christchurch Gerry Brownlee as the wrecking ball on a crane; he says 'let the fun begin'. To one side is a large house crowded with people which represents 'the welfare state' and is surrounded by a barrier on which are printed the words 'Fiscal emergency'. Context - Gerry Brownlee is seen by many as rather too quick to demolish heritage buildings in his rush to rebuild Christchurch. The wrecking ball idea also suggests that the National government is likely to wreck the welfare state in its efforts to sort out economic problems. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Doyle, Martin, 1956- :Student robbed during riots ... 15 August 2011
Date: 2011
From: Doyle, Martin Maurice Michael Thomas, 1956- :Digital cartoons
By: Salient (Newspaper)
Reference: DCDL-0018608
Description: Cartoonist notes follow: Its main theme is the VSM (Voluntary Student Membership) Bill. I use the London riots as a metaphor... in particular the famous incident where a foreign student with a broken door was mugged by rioters who pretended to be helping him. I've slipped in the AB jersey issue as another layer (forgive the pun) which was raging here at the same time ie. Brits have been able to buy the 'All Black' jersey in Britain for half the price it is here in NZ (in this cartoon, another form of looting!) The only real person I've depicted is Heather Roy. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
