- Description
Text reads 'Navy's drinking culture exposed by Labour leader' but the last word is crossed through and replaced with the word 'lager'. The cartoon shows a ship with various parts named but where there is a chance to do a wordplay on drinking it is taken. Thus, the 'Wasp helicopter flying bar' (instead of 'boat'), the 'whip antenna' which becomes the 'Sip antenna', 'tonic water' rather than 'sea water' and 'instead of 'gun director', 'gin director'. The ship is called 'HANZ WHISKEY BRAVO' (HANZ an acronym for 'Hospitality Association of NZ') istead of 'HMNZS' meaning 'Her Majesty's Navy NZ'. Context: Labour leader and former Defence Minister Phil Goff has admitted there is a drinking culture in the New Zealand navy in the wake of the suspension of a top officer. Commander John William Butcher was suspended from command of the $540 million frigate HMNZS Te Mana after allegations of misconduct, it was revealed this morning. (NZherald 9 August 2011)
