Description: Cartoon shows the Labour Member of Parliament, Shane Jones, telling the Labour Opposition Leader, David Shearer, 'I gave the Chinese millionaire a NZ passport because he was told he'd be executed and his organs harvested if he was sent back...'. Shearer's reaction is 'Aw geez..I want to rip out your brain!... In 2008, when Jones was Minister of Immigration, he approved the citizenship application of Chinese businessman William Yan who was later charged with making false declarations. On 23 May 2012, Jones stood down from his shadow portfolios while an investigation took place. Shearer asked the Auditor-General to investigate Jones' acting against advice to decline the application because of Yan's multiple identities and a warrant for his arrest in China. Jones claimed his decision was based on humanitarian grounds because a Government official had told him that Yan faced execution if he returned to China. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: In the left frame a new-right skin-head wearing a shirt emblazoned with a swastika and printed with the letters 'NF' (National Front) carries a flag bearing the words 'Fight Asian invasion!' He growls 'Right-wing resistance rules! OK!' In the second frame he is shown as a tiny insignificant man who is about to be crushed like an insect beneath the boot of 'China'. Context - 'A Right-Wing Resistance group has been circulating anti-Asian fliers throughout Christchurch and is causing anger within the community. We've had in past election years quite a campaign against Asians and given the arrival of Asians, particularly Chinese and Massey University sociologist Paul Spoonley thinks its a publicity stunt attempting to guage the amount of interest in the formation of an anti-Asian Party. (3 News 12 May 2011) The cartoon suggests that China is so enormous and developing so rapidly that any protest by these people is really pretty pointless and rather pathetic.
