Date: 2010
From: Bromhead, Peter, 1933- :Digital cartoons
Reference: DCDL-0016329
Description: A man representing the 'government' sweeps 'Pansy Wong' and her 'expenses' under 'The resignation carpet'. The cartoon is entitled 'The solution'.

An independent investigation of travel claims by Mrs Wong and her husband Sammy was ordered by Speaker Lockwood. The trip was made with a 90 percent taxpayer-funded rebate on their airfares, and it is against the rules to use the allowance for private business. Mrs Wong has apologised and paid back the $474 rebate for the China trip. An Auditor-General's inquiry called for by the Labour opposition is not considered necessary. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Reference: DCDL-0015933
Description: Jaimee and Debbie discuss the possibility that the production of 'The Hobbit' will be taken overseas. Jaimee thinks that maybe a lesson has been learned about spending time making 'Goodbye Pork Pies' and less time making 'Without a Paddle'. Debbie is sorry for Tony who loved acting in the 'Lord of the Rings' movies and who is now looking for 'alternative employment opportunities'. In the last frame Tony is shown at an interview bravely saying 'The milky bars are on me' as a prospective employer in advertising tells him that they will let him know. Refers to the dispute between Warner Brothers, represented by Peter Jackson, and NZ Actors Equity over a union demand for negotiations over the terms and conditions offered in the contracts for actors and others working on the film that very nearly caused the film to be made somewhere else. The battle, which has been resolved successfully after meetings between PM John Key and Warner Brothers representatives, divided New Zealanders. The government agreed to amend the country's labour laws and offered a $25m tax break to the Hollywood studio Warner Bros. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
