Maybe we need a sign on the wall, as in the Wild West, saying 'Don't shoot the Pianist'. I did this cartoon as a comment on the Mana Party's attack on a cartoon by [Al] Nisbet. Nisbet is entitled to make a comment concerning Maori parents. It seems that no public figures are wiling to comment seriously on Maori issues at the moment.
