Description: Shows Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard falling over. The second cartoon has a reference to the 'tea party' incident when a conversation between Prime Minister John Key and ACT candidate for the Epsom seat, John Banks, in a highly publicized meeting over a cup of tea, was recorded. Context: Comments by federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott that perhaps it was time for the Aboriginal tent embassy to move on triggered a protest that trapped him and Prime Minister Julia Gillard in a Canberra restaurant. About 200 protesters ran from the tent embassy, where 40th anniversary celebrations were under way, to the nearby Lobby restaurant in Canberra after learning Abbott was giving a speech there. Gillard, surrounded by security officers in the midst of the throng, stumbled and lost a shoe. [TVNZ Jan 26 2012] Two versions of this cartoon are available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

Winter, Mark 1958- :Key says Emissions Trading Scheme is in good shape... 12 July 2011
Date: 2011

Description: Text in top left corner reads 'Key says Emissions Trading Scheme is in good shape'. The cartoon shows an arm and hand with long bony fingers rather like that of E.T. (E.T.s in the cartoon) It points at a map of New Zealand and asks 'Home?' A second version has the initial text 'Key says emissions...' ending with the words '...if not a little alien'. Thus a play on E.T. as an 'alien'. E.T. is an Extra Terrestrial in the Stephen Spielberg film; E.T.S. stands for 'Emissions Trading Scheme' so there is a wordplay on the letters. Context - Prime Minister John Key has defended New Zealand's emissions trading scheme (ETS) amid criticism it is soft compared with a new Australian scheme. Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard yesterday announced a carbon tax which would force the 500 worst Australian polluters to pay A$23 ($29.50) for every tonne of carbon dioxide they emitted. The Green Party said the Australians were leaving New Zealand for dust because of the lower $12.50 a tonne carbon price here. But I think we're actually in good shape -- we have an emissions trading scheme which currently costs the average household I think about $160 or $180 a year," he said. The Australian scheme is proposing to cost Australian households $560 a year, so as you can see New Zealand's doing quite well."
