Description: Under the heading 'Not a snapper....', there is a fish bowl labelled GCSB, with a fish labelled NZ. The hand of government is feeding the fish a daily diet of fear. Refers to several recent events including: the third reading of the controversial Government Communications Security Bureau bill; Prime Minister John Key's claim that New Zealanders care more about snapper quotas than they do the GCSB bill; and John Key's suggestion that the GCSB needed to extend their powers to keep New Zealand safe from terrorist cells.

Description: A caricature of a sly-looking John Key in a pinstripe suit. He raises his hands and dances while saying "Hey... trust me! I'm a politician". At the left is a news sign saying 'Key pledges GCSB won't routinely access emails'. Refers to the National Party's push to amend legislation to allow the Government Communication Security Bureau to spy on New Zealand citizens. There is a widespread feeling that the change gives the government too much power. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows Prime Minister John Key naked with a strategically placed octopus labelled GCSB. He says "My daughter posed nude with only an octopus covering her private parts - what's wrong with that?" Refers to Key's daughter Stephanie Key whose nude self-portraits, produced while she is an art student in Paris, have been chosen to promote Paris Design Week. The cartoonist compares the Government Communications Security Bureau to an octopus, possibly suggesting its far-reaching capacity. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The cartoon shows Prime Minister John Key representing the 'Govt' acting as referee in a rugby scrum. The rugby ball represents 'Covert filming law'. In the first three of six cameos the PM acts so slowly that when he calls for support, it has dwindled away and he is left red-faced, scrabbling for the ball. Text across the top of all six cameos reads 'Parliamentary tactics... slow... slow... slow.... slow.... knock on! Use it or lose it?..' Context: Attorney-General Chris Finlayson has defended the Government's quest to push through an urgent law next week to allow secret filming on private property by police. The change would be a short-term measure until the Search and Surveillance Bill is passed in the next term of government. The legislation, rushed through after 13 of the 17 accused from the Urewera raids had their cases thrown out because the secret filming surveillance used in evidence, was deemed illegal. The short term law change would allow police to use covert video evidence in about 50 ongoing investigations. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
