Description

The cartoon shows Labour MP Chris Carter in contortions as he shoots himself in one foot while putting the other in his mouth. A newspaper on the floor reads 'Clumsy backstab backfires'. Refers to the anonymous letter written by Chris Carter that stated that Phil Goff had no hope of winning the 2011 election and should be toppled. Chris Carter has been stood down; he has asked for two months' leave and his future looks uncertain.
