Description: In the upper frame is an image of the Beehive from which float voices saying '...and so as a sign of our commitment... We've decided to extend the funding of old soldiers' travel, to old battle sites, to include...' Then in the lower frame Wayne Mapp, Minister of Defence, is seen as he concludes '...veterans of the First World War, the Boer War and the Maori Wars!'. Context - Old soldiers will get more money to attend commemorations after the Government was left red-faced over the treatment of Battle of Crete veterans this year. The move comes after a Weekend Herald report highlighted the superior treatment Australian veterans received during Crete's 70th anniversary. They stayed in the same hotels as officials and received free healthcare. New Zealand veterans got $2000 while Dr Mapp stayed in superior hotels at a cost of $26,000 to the taxpayer. The point made in the cartoon is that this won't cost the government much because there are relatively few soldiers who fought in WW2 who are still alive. Colour and black and white versions available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).
