Description: Shows leader of the Labour Party, David Shearer, holding a piece of paper that says, 'Overseas account, $50,000+' and frowning. Prime Minister John Key stands over his shoulder with John Banks, leader of the ACT party, Winston Peters, Leader of New Zealand First, and Mickey Mouse, all smiling. Key says to Shearer that he's got what it takes to be a politician after all - a bad memory. A bird flies by with the halo that normally sits on Shearer's head, saying, 'You won't be needing this anymore.' Refers to recent revelations that Shearer failed to declare a US-based bank account with more than $50,000 in it on the MPs' Register of Pecuniary Interests. Shearer has stated that it was simply an oversight. (Stuff.co.nz, 19 March 2013) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows Prime Minister John Key drowning in a cup of tea. In the background is leader of NZ First, Winston Peters, as a Cheshire cat. A monstrous old woman pours tea into the cup. Context: Refers to the controversial tea party tapes that recorded a conversation that included derogatory comments about Act leader Don Brash and the elderly who support NZ First. The tea party was a publicity stunt between Prime Minister John Key and the ACT candidate for the seat of Epsom, John Banks, and was intended to highlight John Key's backing of this candidate. The event was filmed and the conversation recorded but John Key tried to have the conversation suppressed. It was released by NZ First leader Winston Peters. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The scene shows a spoof version of the 'Mad Hatter's teaparty' from Alice in Wonderland. From above hangs a sign that reads 'Epsom'.

On the tea table is a teapot with 'ACT' printed on it. Don Brash says 'You can count on us, John, we're not a bunch of back stabbers. Context: With the 2011 elections looming on the 26th November, strange things are happening in the Epsom electorate. National want ACT in the government and are doing their best to ensure that John Banks wins the Epsom seat, by requiring that their own candidate Paul Goldsmith not try hard to win it.

Description: 'The Politician' cartoon strip. A reporter asks the minister if he made 'unflattering remarks about senior voters' but the minister can't recall. His colleague comments that 'his memory isn't what it used to be now he's getting on in years.' Context: The recording of the conversation between Prime Minister John Key and the ACT candidate for Epsom John Banks was recorded by a reporter. NZ First leader Winston Peters seemed to have access to the recording (but maybe he was being mischievous) and said the recording insulted old people by suggesting that the old people who support Winston Peters are 'dying off.'

Description: The title reads 'The Cuppa Haka' and the cartoon shows Prime Minister John Key doing a haka. Nearby is a cup of tea in whose steam appears the head of Winston Peters, leader of New Zealand First as a genie. Context: The Act Party launched its campaign on Monday 14 November with ACT MP John Banks, who is running for the controversial Epsom seat, having a cup of tea with Prime Minister John Key. The event was widely publicised and the media were invited. The content of the chat, which was not intended to be public, was recorded by the media. John Key has complained to the police. He played right into the hands of Winston Peters who treated the tea party incident as a hot topic in a public meeting in Whangarei a couple of days later. The drubbing given to the PM by Winston Peters probably contributed to the excellent result or Peters in the election on the 26th November. He held his seat and took eight NZ First politicians with him into parliament. 'Cuppa haka' is a wordplay on 'kapa haka' which means something like 'Maori performing arts'.
