Behind him is the HMNZ Canterbury moored in the Avon River; a punter looks indignantly at his wrecked punt. All around Garry moore are scenes of wild gaiety which include a duck spitted on a sword and sailors' hats being tossed in the air along with beercans.

Description: The cartoon shows Minister for the Environment Nick Smith wearing bullet belts over both shoulders, and telling a woman representing 'Hurunui' and who is behind bars, that he has great news, that he is going to wait for 15 months before hanging drawing and quartering her. Refers to the news that Irrigation NZ (INZ) has welcomed the moratorium placed on new major irrigation consents on Canterbury's Hurunui River yesterday, saying it was common sense where no proper water plan exists. Environment Canterbury commissioners requested the moratorium from Environment Minister Nick Smith and he approved it on new water takes from the river and its tributaries from Friday until October 1 next year. Dame Margaret Bazley said the Hurunui catchment did not meet criteria in the Environment Canterbury Act, it faced increasing demand, was nearing full allocation and in lower reaches suffered diminished water quality.
