Description

The cartoon shows a photo of Robert Muldoon and a photo of Police Commisioner Bob Walton. Muldoon is inside Athletic Park pointing out through a barbed wire fence. He has a badge drawn onto his jacket reading, 'S.I.S Boss'. Rolls of barbed wire are placed outside the fence with a sign reading, 'Beware this is an anti-terrorist device'. A cartoon character is commenting on the commissioner's statement by saying, 'Yet'. Refers to the protest movements against the 1981 Springbok tour during the Apartheid era in South Africa.
