Hodgson, Trace, 1958- :"God, it nearly puts me off my oysters when I think of those poor children in South Auckland"; "Don't upset yourself Jenny". [Bill English, Jenny Shipley, Wyatt Creech. Metro, Godzone, October 1999, page 34]

Cartoon shows three National Party politicians at a circular banqueting table lit with two elegant triple candlesticks. Jenny Shipley expresses a sight tendency towards a lack of appetite at the plight of poorer children in Auckland, while Wyatt Creech comforts her with a pat on the shoulder. Bill English, at left, asks Creech to "Pass the champers [champagne]!"

Above their table a line of flames separates their lighted room from the dark sky above, where items float: hypodermic syringe, crucifix, toilet paper, snake, medicine bottle, "X-Ray" sign, crying baby, skull.
