Description: Shows a boy at one end of a table reading a paper with headlines including: Jobs, Quakes, Poverty, GCSB, Asset sales and Dairy!

Context: Despite strong opposition from the Labour and Green parties, the GCSB bill passed its third reading in Parliament, which gives the Government Communications Security Bureau explicit powers to spy on New Zealanders when it is acting under warrant and for agencies including the Security Intelligence Service, police and defence. On the same day that the GCSB bill was discussed, Labour Leader David Shearer held up two differently sized dead red snappers in order to make a point about the National Party's controversial snapper fishing quotas.
