From: Fletcher, David, 1952- :Eighteen original cartoons, published in the New Truth and TV Extra, December 1998 - April 1999.

Reference: A-323-078

Description: A three-panel strip showing WInston Peters showing Gilbert Myles to his new desk, previously occupied by Deborah Morris. Peters is surprised to see Myles checking over the desk for hidden recording equipment Context: Myles re-entered parliament for a brief period during 1999, following the total breakdown of the New Zealand First/ National coalition government and the resignation of former NZ First MP-turned-Independent-minister in the National government Deborah Morris, over the prioritisation of military expenditure over social expenditure in the 1999 budget. Some controversy emerged as Morris issued a tape-recorded telephone conversation between her and Myles where he admitted that he would immediately quit NZ First upon arrival in Parliament and would support the struggling Jenny Shipley-led National Government (This did not end up occurring, following threats of discipline by Peters and other NZ First party members).
