From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons

'Immigration Service'. 14 May, 2008
Date: 2008
From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons
Reference: DCDL-0006535
Description: Shows the 'boss' of the Immigration Service escaping down a rope of tied sheets from the Immigration Service building (which looks rather like Mount Eden Prison) with three months pay stuck in her belt. Refers to the resignation of Mary Anne Thompson from her job as head of the Immigration Service after allegations of corruption were made against the service. It has since transpired that her credentials are in question which has caused embarrassment to the government because a former position she held was in the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, where she was first appointed under Jenny Shipley, in 1998. The escape from prison recalls an incident a few weeks ago when a prisoner escaped from Mount Eden Prison in just this way. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Context - Research from George Washington University that has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found grains of cooked plant material in the teeth of Neanderthals. The popular image of Neanderthals as great meat eaters is one that has up until now been backed by some circumstantial evidence. Chemical analysis of their bones suggested they ate little or no vegetables. (BBC news 27 December 2010) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
