Description: Former National Party leader Don Brash rises as a vampire from his tomb and grabs ACT leader Rodney Hide by the throat. The headstone for the tomb features a statue of Roger Douglas and bears the words 'Lest we forget - Rogernomics'. Don Brash says 'ACT needs fresh blood and I need fresh brains...' Context - Don Brash has ousted Rodney Hide from the leadership of the ACT Party and taken over the role himself. Roger Douglas is now an ACT MP but is famous (or infamous, depending on you point of view) for his monetarist market forces economic reforms, dubbed Rogernomics, when he was Minister of Finance in David Lange's Labour government in 1984. Don Brash is very committed to similar thinking on economics policies.. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: In the first of two frames the new leader of the ACT Party, Don Brash, tries to resuscitate a man who represents 'Capitalism' and in the second frame leader of the new Mana Party, Hone Harawira, tries to resuscitate a man who represents 'Activism'. Both of them say 'Observe... The breath of life!' Context - Don Brash overthrew the former ACT leader, Rodney Hide in a bloodless coup and has taken his place so that the ACT Party which includes the initiator of 'Rogernomics', Roger Douglas, becomes a very right-wing capitalist party while Hone Harawira, who left the Maori Party because of ideological differences has started the Mana Party which will be more left wing and activist than the Maori Party.

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).

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).

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).

Description: Shows a group of three 'fat cats' labelled 'Mighty River', 'Meridian' and 'Genesis' who are seated at a table greedily hoarding their funds and 'burning' cash. Below the table two 'Bolshevik Bombers', Labour leader David Shearer and Green Party co-leader Russel Norman are shown sneaking in with lit bombs. Refers to the strongly emotive media debate around the Government's decision to sell shares in Mighty River Power and other power companies. The Bolshevik bombers refer to claims in the media that the Labour and Green Party joint plan, released very close to the floating of the Mighty River shares, was a deliberate act of sabotage. There have been claims that the proposed state ownership of power companies and price caps reflect a collectivist approach akin to Communist models. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
