- Description
At the top of the cartoon is text reading 'Sir Geoffrey Palmer to head the UN inquiry into Gaza Flotilla raid.' Sir Geoffrey Palmer is shown saying that the Middle East inquiry will be a doddle after 'the brutal protection of self interest and the callous disregard of the needs of others I encountered reviewing the liquor laws.' Refers to Sir Geoffrey Palmer's saying that heading an inquiry into the fatal Israeli raid on the Gaza-bound aid flotilla earlier this year is probably the hardest job he has ever done. Refers also to Sir Geoffrey's heading the Law Commission's Review of the Liquor Laws - the report 'makes clear that the law is only part of the solution.' To achieve 'enduring change, the need for it has to be reflected in the hearts and minds of the community... that requires an attitudinal shift and a new drinking culture - social attitudes need to be shifted so it is not regarded as socially acceptable to get drunk.'
