My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3503...

At the weekend we saw over 20,000 people from all walks of life demonstrating that they do not want this bill to be passed. The hubris and nonchalant attitude towards our people and the environment is breathtaking.

One feather from an extinct bird sells for $46,000. Shame we don’t value the birds and their habitat so highly BEFORE they go extinct. My Sunday Star Times #cartoon today #nzpol #FastTrack

My cartoon in www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3502...

We all knew Luxon had it in his wheel house but then Seymour & Winnie... well they've tossed their 'freedom' & 'libertarian' ways to the side.

With an ease that suggested they never cared about freedom or the individual in the first place.

Joel MacManus remains one of the very few political journalists working in NZ who is consistently able to step outside gallery gossip and horse race bullshit and shed light on the substance of things.

This is excellent.

David Seymour and Shane Jones’ critiques of the Waitangi Tribunal may constitute a breach of the Cabinet Manual.

A personal cartoon done after learning a friend has lost their job. If you think this cartoon is tasteless or brutal, well it’s got nothing on what the government is doing to real-life people. #nzpol #PublicServiceCuts

Why we’d prioritise a 4km tunnel under Wellington city over a vital bit of kit, the Interislander ferries, (which we’ve been told we can’t afford), I don’t know. Maybe it’s adventure tourism. Certainly a lot of the locals wouldn’t be venturing in there. My Stuff #cartoon today #nzpol

The multicoloured skinks of Aotearoa have rather more clout than Shane Jones and would like to have a word with him about his political career, and if he still wants one.

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3502...

The self declared 'libertarian' MP David Seymour is hell bent on breaking the Governmental system in the name of the individual... unless it's him of course. He can make us do what he wants when he wants.
