Evans, Malcolm Paul, 1945-:[Brash and Hide.] 28 April 2011
Date: 2011
From: Evans, Malcolm Paul, 1945- :Digital cartoons
By: Press (Christchurch, N.Z.)
Reference: DCDL-0017698
Description: The cartoon shows former leader of the National Party, Don Brash, dressed as a groom with an 'ACT' badge on his lapel. He holds the hand of his diminutive bride, former ACT leader Rodney Hide, who stands in a pool of blood with a dagger stuck into his back and who holds a bouquet of lilies. Both grin broadly. Context - The ousting of Rodney Hide from the leadership of the ACT Party by Don Brash who is the new leader. There was obviously considerable political manoeuvring behind the scenes before the announcement was made - ACT now has both Roger Douglas and Don Brash as lead members - both far right. This move will have been of great interest to the National Party also. Title provided Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
Nisbet, Alistair, 1958- :"Observe... the breath of life!" 1 May 2011
Date: 2011
From: Nisbet, Alastair, 1958- :Digital cartoons
By: Press (Christchurch, N.Z.)
Reference: DCDL-0017882
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.
