Description: Text reads 'One million NZers didn't bother to vote.' A man sits on a hilltop photographing other solar systems and wondering whether he should bother to vote. Context: Refers to the lowest turnout of voters (65%) for a general election since 1880. Refers also to Rolf Olsen, a New Zealand based astrophotographer, who has published the first non-professional pictures of the disk of debris and dust swirling around Beta Pictoris, a very young solar system. Incredibly, the 12 million-year-old system was captured with only a 25cm telescope. (NZ Herald (by the Daily Mail) Nov 28 2011) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
