- Description
An angry crowd of people appear including police and politicians, complaining about the inappropriate behaviour of MPS Phil Goff and Trevor Mallard during a law and order select committee. Commentary from the artist reads 'In the stifling of Phil Goff and Trevor Mallard we see the present government move from spinning the truth to suppressing the truth. One of the issues the MPs tried to raise before being stifled in the Committee hearing was the use of the term by Mike Bush "integrity beyond reproach" to describe the late Bruce Hutton (who had been found by a Commission of Inquiry to have planted evidence to unfairly convict Arthur Allan Thomas of the murders of Jeannette and Harvey Crewe). A very influential book leading to Thomas' eventual release from jail was "Beyond Reasonable Doubt" The title of the cartoon "Beyond Reasonable Reproach" is a reference to this. The cartoon depicts Police Commissioner Peter Marshall, Deputy Commissioner Mike Bush, Police Minister Anne Tolley, Law and Order Committee Chair Jacqui Dean, MPs Phil Goff and Trevor Mallard, the late Bruce Hutton, and the late Jeannette and Harvey Crewe.'
