- Description
Cartoon shows the Green Party List Member of Parliament holding a newspaper headlined 'Deaf MP Mojo Mathers denied special Parlt. funding'. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dr Lockwood Smith, is saying, as he blocks his ears 'I'm sorry Mojo, but because of the system your pleas are falling on deaf ears...'
Mojo Mathers, who is profoundly deaf, at the opening session of the 2012 Parliament, requested the purchase of an electronic aid to help her follow the debates. The Speaker, who is responsible for Parliamentary Services, claimed that he could not authorise the expenditure and that Mojo Mathers should fund it herself. This decision was later reversed.
