- Description
Caricature of Maori activist Tame Iti holding a gun and a ripped up flag. Refers to a number of controversial actions he made in 2004 and 2005.
On 6 May 2004, when the foreshore and seabed hikoi arrived at parliament, Tame Iti spat on the ground infront of Labour's five male MPs and the deputy Prime Minister Michael Cullen. On the 18th of January 2005, Iti used a double barrelled shotgun to shoot a New Zealand flag as the Waitangi Tribunal arrived at a marae in Ruatoki in the Bay of Islands.
Iti held an art exhibition from 8-14 May in Auckland. He invited National's spokesperson for Maori affairs Gerry Brownlee to open it, entitling the exhibition "Meet the Prick".
Extended Title - "Y'don't like me spitting at yer feet... Y'don't like me shootin' yer flag. Y'leave me no choice... I'm gonna 'ave another art exhibition!"
