In the upper scene three of Muldoon's retinue are succumbing to 'Delhi belly' and clutching their stomachs while Muldoon asks them why they can't be like him and 'ignore complaints'. Muldoon was in New Delhi attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. Back in New Zealand the Social Credit party had won the East Coast Bays by-election over the National Party.

In the lower scene in the cartoon sick-looking M.P.s are gathering outside the National Party Caucus room. One of them observes that the others looks pretty sick and asks if they have 'Delhi belly' too. He is told that it's much worse - 'it's East Coast Bays daze'. Brian Talboys is trying to comfort George Gair while others are trying to work out the cause of their discomfort.
