Tamati Kruger. 15 May 2010
Date: 2010
From: Webb, Murray, 1947- :Digital caricatures
Reference: DCDL-0014352
Description: Caricature of Tamati Kruger, Tuhoe Treaty Claim negotiator. He wears a cook's cap and apron and stands with a mere in one hand and a taiaha in the other in front of a large cooking pot. Tamati Kruger maintains the iwi believed they had a "done deal" with the Government over their claim to the Urewera National Park which PM John Key has stated is not going to happen. The cooking refers to the 'joke' by PM John Key when speaking at a tourism event in Auckland; Mr Key made a joke about enjoying a dinner at a Ngati Porou marae on the East Coast this week. He said 'the good news is that I was having dinner with Ngati Porou as opposed to their neighbouring iwi, which is Tuhoe, in which case I would have been dinner, which wouldn't have been quite so attractive'. The joke has been labelled badly timed and insensitive by a Maori Party MP. It was specifically referring to Key's apparent about-turn by denying that Tuhoe would ever be granted ownership of the Urewera National Park after Tuhoe believed that this was going to be the case.

"My relationship with my brown brothers has never been warmer ... oops!" 14 May 2010
Date: 2010
From: Brockie, Robert Ellison, 1932- :Digital caricatures and cartoons
Reference: DCDL-0014337
Description: The cartoon shows PM John Key declaiming 'My relationship with my brown brothers has never been warmer'; he finishes with an 'Oops!' as he drops a 'Urewera bombshell'. In the background stands a group of angry Maori with a raincloud above them' they are from left; Tariana Turia and Pita Sharples, co-leaders of the Maori Party, then Hone Harawira?, Maori Party MP and Tuhoe Maori activist Tame Iti. Refers to the apparent about turn made by John Key after Tuhoe believed they were going to be granted ownership of the Urewera National Park. Chief Tuhoe negotiator Tamati Kruger said information gleaned from the corridors of Parliament before Mr Key's announcement indicated a majority of Cabinet supported returning the 212,000-hectare national park to Tuhoe. He said it appeared Mr Key had "intervened" at the end of an 18-month negotiation process based on worries expressed at last weekend's National Party regional meeting in Masterton, where concerns were raised that the Government was making too many concessions to Maori.
