- Description
A man representing the 'government' sweeps 'Pansy Wong' and her 'expenses' under 'The resignation carpet'. The cartoon is entitled 'The solution'. Context; the resignation of Minister of Women's Affairs Pansy Wong from her portfolio after it was revealed that on a trip to China in 2008 her husband Sammy Wong was involved in a business deal. An independent investigation of travel claims by Mrs Wong and her husband Sammy was ordered by Speaker Lockwood. The trip was made with a 90 percent taxpayer-funded rebate on their airfares, and it is against the rules to use the allowance for private business. Mrs Wong has apologised and paid back the $474 rebate for the China trip. An Auditor-General's inquiry called for by the Labour opposition is not considered necessary.
