Description: Two men are chatting in the pub and one of them has a newspaper with a heading 'Tai Tokerau poll' printed on it. The first man comments 'If I had a vote there, I'd vote to keep Hone at the forefront of politics!' When his mate wonders if he is 'some sorta lefty, liberal, Treaty malcontent or something' the first replies that he is a political cartoonist. Context - The implication is that Hone Harawira is good fodder for political cartoons. Context - a recent poll shows the Labour candidate in the Te Tai Tokerau by-election is running neck-and-neck with incumbent Hone Harawira. Harawira has resigned from the Maori Party and set up his own 'Mana Party'. His resignation caused a by-election in Te Tai Tokerau which he assumed he would easily keep hold of as an independent candidate; this appears not to be quite true. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Five political party leaders parade in their briefs. They are ACT leader Don Brash in a baby's napkin, PM John Key in a blue g-string, Labour leader Phil Goff in sensible purple pants, Green co-leader Russel Norman wearing a fig (or is it a marijuana) leaf and Mana Leader Hone Harawira wearing a grass skirt. John Key poses suggestively and says 'Oh, I don't know' and Phil Goff looks embarrassed and says 'These sexiest politician polls are so demeaning'. Don Brash tries to make his scrawny physique look tough, Russel Norman grins broadly Context: They keep saying that John Key is sexy!!! Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Finance Minister Bill English carries a stack of boxes full of banknotes out of an 'Instant Cash Budget rescue' shop. He tells the leader of the new Mana Party, Hone Harawira, 'Don't bother, I've cleaned them out. Better start saving'. Context - This is probably a reference to Hone Harawira's lack of funds with which to fight the Te Tai Tokerau by-election which was forced by his resignation from the Maori Party and his launch of the Mana Party. Harawira won the election with a slashed majority on a very small budget. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The cartoon shows the leader of the new Mana Party, Hone Harawira, in four frames that illustrate 'The aftershock', 'the shake-up', 'the waiting & anxiety!...' and in the last frame 'the liquefaction...' as he sinks up to his chest in 'Poll Street'. Context - In fact Hone Harawira won the Te Tai Tokerau by-election with a majority of 1,117 votes, followed fairly closely by Kelvin Davis (Labour). The Labour and Mana candidates seemed to be neck and neck just before the election on 26 June 2011. The cartoon uses earthquake imagery to illustrate the emotional roller-coaster for Hone Harawira. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
