Reference: DCDL-0026988
Description: The Auckland city councillor, Dick Quax, announces 'The sleaze from the first floor of this building is a rotting political corpse!' Behind him, another councillor, Cameron Brewer, whispers 'Shh...Not so loud, Dick. I've got a few body parts in my travel bag.' He is grasping a parcel labelled "2012 4-day junket on Gold Coast'. Commentary from the artist reads "Dick Quax and Cameron Brewer have adopted an arch Puritanical rhetoric attacking Mayor Len Brown in Auckland. But now it's emerging that the lynch mob itself might not be 'without sin'. Cartoon depicts Auckland city councillors Dick Quax and Cameron Brewer." Auckland councillor Cameron Brewer, who had accused Mayor Len Brown of not declaring gifts, on 20 December 2013 admitted not declaring a four-day junket to the Gold Coast. Earlier some Auckland Councillors, including Dick Quax and Brewer, attempted to put a motion of no-confidence regarding the Mayor of Auckland at a Governing Body meeting at the Auckland Town Hall.

Description: The Mayor of Auckland, Len Brown, is surrounded by monsters, representing the city's councillors. Hence the pun 'Orcland'. Commentary from the artist reads "Auckland city council is currently a murky mess in which the Mayor has admitted a two-year affair, and Councillors have censured him in unforgiving terms. Then it turned out that less than half of the Councillors have filed returns on their own 'gifts accepted' etc and one of them, a leading critic of the Mayor, himself has concealed a four-day overseas junket he was given last year." Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
