- Description
The cartoon shows the tents of protesters in Dunedin's Octagon. Above them is the statue of Scots poet Robbie Burns who recites one of his poems 'What is Right, and What is Wrang, by the law, by the law? What is Right and what is Wrang by the law? What is Right, and waht is Wrang? A short sword, and a lang, a weak arm and a strang, for to draw.'* The asterisk refers to a note 'Ye Jacobites by name - R. Burns'. The statue is flanked by a baffled policeman and the Mayor of Dunedin, Dave Cull, who is tearing his hair. Context: Relates to the protest movement dubbed 'Occupy' after 'Occupy Wall Street' that began in New York and spread across the western world. The protests were against capitalism and corporate greed. Dunedin police have ruled out taking action they are not aware of any activity by the protestors that would justify police intervention. Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull says he is 'completely at a loss' after police ruled out taking action. [TVNZ November 9 2011]
