Description: National Party Minister of Ethnic Affairs and Women's Affairs is thrown from a plane labeled 'Cabinet' by Prime Minister John Key who says 'Sorry Pansy... this is one flight you won't be taking!' Below a seal at Kaikoura says 'I thought humans were warm-blooded creatures like us... not cold blooded killers!!' Refers to the resignation of Minister of Women's Affairs Pansy Wong from her portfolio after it was revealed that on a trip to China in 2008 her husband Sammy Wong was involved in a business deal. An independent investigation of travel claims by Mrs Wong and her husband Sammy was ordered by Speaker Lockwood. The trip was made with a 90 percent taxpayer-funded rebate on their airfares, and it is against the rules to use the allowance for private business. Mrs Wong has apologised and paid back the $474 rebate for the China trip. An Auditor-General's inquiry called for by the Labour opposition is not considered necessary.

Description: 'The Politician' cartoon strip. The minister reports that according to the polls they have gone out on a big lead. A critic imagines the size of the lead if the government had policies that worked. Context - But the Horizon poll shows the spike in support the government received from its handling of Christchurch's earthquakes has levelled out. National now has the same level of support as it did at the last election. The Horizon poll has Act on just 3.7 percent support, National on 37.7 percent, United Future on 1.1 percent and the Maori Party on 2.4 percent. Labour is on 23.9 percent, the Green Party on 9.9 percent and New Zealand First on 7.4 percent. When possible coalitions are factored in, the gap between the two potential governments narrows to 3.7 percent. While National has shed the lift in support it received after the Canterbury earthquakes - from 41.2 percent to 37.7 percent, Labour support also fell, from 27 percent in March to 23.9 percent.
