Description: Accompanying note from cartoonist states "New Zealand is currently being treated as an object lesson in how to (and how not to) build effective coalitions. Labour's rejection of the Greens' invitation to stage a joint campaign strategy for the General Election not only shows NZ what it thinks of the Greens but also lowers the likelihood of a Labour-Green government. Cartoon depicts PM John Key, Labour leader David Cunliffe, and Greens co-leader Russel Norman.' Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Accompanying note from cartoonist states 'Unless political parties clearly signal their intended coalitions, Kiwis are just voting in the dark when trying to elect a 'government'. Well done, Greens, for at least trying. Labour leader David Cunliffe is possibly declining the Greens' offer in order to leave the door open for a tripartite coalition incorporating NZ First; but even that ought to be clearly enunciated.'

Description: Accompanying note from cartoonist states "Although it's all no doubt above board to the outsider it appears as if a significant member of the Opposition has been taken out of play by means of a [tax-payer funded] lucrative job offer just prior to the election. Some view it as a killer blow to Labour. Cartoon depicts MP Shane Jones and Minister of Foreign Affairs Murray McCully." Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Accompanying note from cartoonist states "With media coverage at a premium heading for the Election, one has to really make a scene to get in the News. Some are better at it than others.

Description: Accompanying note from cartoonist states "Peter Dunne's sudden overdose [Sunday] of concern over legal highs seems to have been triggered by a panic attack over Labour's imminent [Monday] policy release on psychoactive substances. He dropped a couple of "Upstage" pills. Cartoon depicts Hon Peter Dunne, Associate Minister of Health." Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Accompanying note from cartoonist states 'Considering John Key's own insulting comments last week in parliament regarding the pronunciation of David Cunliffe's name, it is surprising to see the arch sensitivity of the National Party [and for that matter, the media] to the language of young students regarding the Prime Minister. Some people are not so pure when the mainstream spotlight is not on them, it seems. Cartoon depicts John Key, David Cunliffe, Judith Collins and Nick Smith.' Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Accompanying note from cartoonist states 'Given Dame Susan Devoy's caution to political parties re racist comments, and the heightened attention to any such, Steve Gibson's inflammatory use of the term "Shylock" [with its long, long pedigree of anti-Semitism] to describe the PM is a disgrace. Total ignorance [his defence] might enable him to feel at home in our modern parliament but his blurt leaves a sick taste in the mouths of New Zealanders. Cartoon depicts a Labour Party member, Dame Susan Devoy [in newspaper pic], David Cunliffe and Steve Gibson.' Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The Minister of Labour, Simon Bridges, announces 'My Department will not prosecute anyone over the deaths of 29 men at Pike River - a decision firmly based on legal principles'. Behind him, the prime minister, John Key, adds 'The firmest principle being "No trial, no flak for the government in election year"'. Commentary from the artist reads "Despite dropping the Pike River prosecution, and the intensely packaged spin surrounding the announcement, this tragedy is not going to disappear." On 12 December 2013 the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment announced yesterday that it was not proceeding with charges of breaching health and safety rules, as it was unlikely to obtain a conviction.
