- Description
At top left is the text 'Hatching the Mana Party...' A strange bird is perched half way up a broken flag-pole clutching an axe with its little right wing and sporting an enormous left wing. Broken egg shell and the broken top of the flag-pole lie on the ground. The bird says 'A large left wing... ideal for ruffling a few feathers...' and words below read '...but will it fly?' A second version has the test 'A new party hatches...' at top left. Below is a broken egg and printed on it is the word 'Mana' and an image of an axe and a chopped down flag-pole'. A bird with an enormous left wing struggles to get out. Lastly is text reading '... a large left wing to ruffle a few feathers'. Context - Hone Harawira has resigned from the Maori Party and is now setting up his own party to be called the 'Mana' Party. The axe and flag-pole imagery recall the chopping down of the flagpole by Hone Heke at Kororareka no less than 4 times in 1844.
