Description: The Speaker of Parliament, David Carter, allows two unidentified agents to rifle a 'top secret' box of a parliamentarian's possessions containing 'the usual crap MPs drop and leave behind', mainly of an embarrassing personal nature, and that they can 'take what you want'. One of them has found a list titled 'Movements and phone calls of journalists'. The Speaker has not checked the identities of the two 'snoops'. Accompanying note from cartoonist states: 'There seem to have been no end of 'accidents' regarding Andrea Vance's phone records. Now the Speaker is apologising.

Parliament Speaker David Carter confirmed on 30July 2013 that three months of phone records detailing calls between Fairfax journalist Andrea Vance and people within the parliamentary precinct were handed over to a ministerial inquiry into the unauthorised leak of a report on the GCSB. The release of the information to the inquiry was unacceptable, Carter said, in his apology to Andrea Vance.

Description: Under the caption 'John Key drone draws response from Al Qaeda training camp in Yemen' an Al Qaeda leader protests 'Why pick on us again?!! We're into barbaric violence against specific targets in the Middle East...Not psychologically emasculating a whole nation with oppressive electronic surveillance!!' Accompanying note from cartoonist states: 'John Key's use of "al Qaeda" as a caution is itself a form of terror, used in turn to justify terrible new surveillance on the NZ population.' On 2 August 2013, the Prime Minister, John Key, claimed as a justification for the GCSB Amendment Bill that the monitoring of radicalised New Zealanders with links to Al Qaeda who have attended terrorist training camps overseas was necessary. This claim resembled a pilotless 'drone', used against Al Qaeda in Pakistan, but which caused the deaths of many by 'collateral damage'. What will be such damage for New Zealand citizens?
