It's a popular reaction to high youth unemployment, high food prices, widening disparities and ahem...ah...ulp...golly...look been thinking about this whole flash new BMW ministerial car thing... it could have been better handled by everyone including me'.

Description: The Finance Minister, Bill English, dressed as Mother Hubbard, looks at the empty cupboard and tells her dog that there will be a surplus next year 'I promise',. The dog thinks that if there was not a surplus next year, Mother Hubbard will be 'losing a leg'. The Minister of Finance had announced that the annual budget for 2012 would have no extra funding, although Treasury had forecast economic growth in 2013. The New Zealand public would accept austerity for this year, but if the forecasts were wrong and more austerity was required, the government would suffer. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Jock Barnes, President of the New Zealand Waterside Workers Union, and Minister of Labour, Angus McLagan, are having a furious fight and have turned the prime minister's office upside-down. Prime Minister, Peter Fraser, has grabbed the phone and now says 'Hello, is that Count Folke Bernadotte...' Context - A clash between the more radical Barnes and Angus McLagan. McLagan clashed with unions who challenged the government's economic programme between 1946 and 1949 and came to see the hand of international communism in union opposition to the stabilisation policies of the war years and after. Count Folke Bernadotte was a United Nations peace negotiator, noted for his negotiation of the release of about 31,000 prisoners from German concentration camps during World War II. After the war, Bernadotte was unanimously chosen to be the United Nations Security Council mediator in the Arab-Israeli conflict of 1947-1948. Below the cartoon is the title in pencil 'Hello, is that Count Folke Bernadotte'. Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s). Physical Description: Ink and blue pencil on paper 355 x 535 mm

Description: Prime Minister John Key, dressed as a mediaeval executioner, holds a huge double-edged axe that represents 'anti-worker election policies' and tells the Speaker of the House 'This IS the National Party business suit Mr Speaker!' He is responding to a reprimand from the speaker about dress codes. The reference is to Labour MP Clare Curran who arrived at the House wearing a Highlanders' blue and white shirt as a protest against a recent decision to change the colours to green and white. Prime Minister John Key has indicated National will campaign on further changes to labour laws - and will not rule out reinstating a youth minimum wage or changes to collective bargaining. Employment law changes in New Zealand took effect 1 April and have given all employers the right to dismiss employees within a first 90-day "trial" period, with no rights to grievance procedure. This rule previously applied for small businesses of fewer than 20 employees. Now it applies in all workplaces, no matter the size of the workforce. The regressive changes also include restrictions on trade union access to a worksite, relaxation of fairness tests on dismissals, the ability of employers to bypass the union in collective negotiations, the possibility to exchange holiday days for money, the right to shift public holidays without payment, and the right for employers to demand a medical certificate for one day's sick leave. There is nothing fair in the workplace law changes, according to ICEM-affiliated Engineering, Printing, and Manufacturing Union (EPMU).
