Hubbard, James, 1949- :"I'm the Donald, and yer all fired!!!" ... 16 May 2011
Date: 2011
From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons
By: New Zealand Press Association
Reference: DCDL-0017862
Description: The new ACT leader, Don Brash, with a huge Donald Trump-style wig, stands in front of a group of people in silhouette who represent 'Assets', 'welfare' and 'health' and says 'I'm the Donald, and yer all fired!!!' An ACT Party politician in the background tells an astonished man 'We've trumped the other parties with our makeover!' Context - Former ACT leader Rodney Hide has just been ousted in a bloodless coup from the role by Don Brash who has taken over the leadership of the party. Roger Douglas and Don Brash will create a far right party which is likely to be characterised by a 'Rogernomics' style of sale of state assets, market-led restructuring and deregulation and the control of inflation through tight monetary policy, accompanied by a floating exchange rate and reductions in the fiscal deficit. Also talk-show host and real estate magnate, Donald Trump, has been in the news because he was threatening to stand as a presidential candidate for the Republicans. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
Walker, Malcolm, 1950-:[Don Brash and John Key collude] 4 May 2011
Date: 2011
From: Walker, Malcolm, 1950- :Digital cartoons
Reference: DCDL-0017795
Description: Former leader of the National Party Don Brash and PM John Key stand back to back holding pop guns that have just been fired. Former ACT leader Rodney Hide clushes his wounded backside and rushes away. Context - Don Brash has ousted Rodney Hide and taken over his role as leader of the the ACT Party in a bloodless coup (hence the pop-guns). The cartoon suggests collusion with John Key. The ACT Party now has both Roger Douglas, the creator of 'Rogernomics' the financial reforms in 1984 that introduced deregulation and a reliance on the markets for economic growth, and Don Brash who is a follower of that line of thinking. Their influence on the National Party in probable coalition arrangements will pull New Zealand further to the political right. Title provided Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
Nisbet, Alistair, 1958- :Future tornado predictions?... 8 May 2011
Date: 2011
From: Nisbet, Alastair, 1958- :Digital cartoons
By: Press (Christchurch, N.Z.)
Reference: DCDL-0017883
Description: The title is 'Future tornado prediction?... There follow six cameos featuring the new ACT leader Don Brash and others in his trajectory. In the first frame 'Seemingly dormant air begins spinning to the right...' and the head of Don Brash starts to spin in an anti-clockwise direction. In the second cameo Don Brash 'then collides with stale air spinning from the left and the head of the leader of the Labour Party, Phil Goff, seems to be running out of steam as he spins to the left. Next comes 'unstable air spinning from the North' and Hone Harawira, the leader of the new Mana Party, appears with steam belching out of his ears. The Don Brash tornado 'then merges with the tepid air spinning in the centre...' as he twists around the Prime Minister, John Key 'creating volatile air that no matter what the spin...' John Key and Don Brash are twisted together so tightly that lightning strikes and they move off together in a vortex that 'will flatten everything in its path...' - A sign saying 'Welfare' is lying on the ground. Context - The former leader of the National Party has ousted Rodney Hide from his role as leader of ACT and taken over himself. Together with Roger Douglas he will be espousing a very right-wing monetarist ideology which he probably hopes will influence the National government. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
