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: All the political leaders are out for the duck-shooting season at 'Political poll swamp'. Prime Minister, John Key holds what looks like a shag, Labour leader, Phil Goff, has a plucked chicken, new ACT leader, Ron Brash catches feathers and they all laugh as an egg representing the 'margin of error' breaks over the head of Pita Sharples, the co-leader of the Maori Party. The little Evans man asks 'Why didn't you duck?' Context - A new poll released on Sunday suggests support for the ACT party has jumped since Don Brash became leader after the ACT coup, and also shows the new Mana party making an impact. According to the Horizon Research poll, support for ACT rose to 5.3% this week - up from 3.7% in April - following the change of leadership from Rodney Hide to Dr Brash. Support for Mana, which has yet to be officially registered, is at 2.3%, ahead of the Maori Party's 2.1%. Colour and black and white versions available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).
