My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Shane Jones & his portfolios of destruction.

He's been picking fights with people, groups & our environment.

Shane is only interested in Shane & the pursuit of money...

My wife and I were on a beach in the Wellington area and found this at a car park, in the grass.

It is approximately the size of a person's hand,made of bone, and intricately carved.

I've masked the lower half,as only the legitimate owner will be able to fully describe it.

Please share this...(1)

Shane Jones is doing his best to lose the votes of the recreational fishing sector.

This clip is being posted all over various platforms and the reactions are 99% bad for Jones and New Zealand First

NO! No. No no no no no.

Is THIS what you voted for?
6% of the votes does NOT give NZF permission, let alone a mandate, to destroy our precious whenua for the USA.
ESPECIALLY NOW.

Cartoon. Title: The Great American Ventriloquist. With his performing... Parliamentary Puppet!

We have Trump and Winston Peters on a small stage. Trump has Winnie on his knee as his puppet. Trump is channeling his words through Winnie:

"We do not recognise Palestine as a state!"

"Maduro is a terrorist!"

"The reserve bank SHOULD stay in their lane!"

"We should leave the 'globalist' world health organisation"

*AFTER 'CONSERVATIVE CENTRAL OFFICE' LONDON 1905-1908 

This cartoon was inspired by a poster they made at the time. It can be found on wikimedia. The Great Irish ventriloquist with his performing mannequin.

Cartoon. Title: PARLIAMENT RETURNS UNDER SHADOW OF DEADLY WEATHER

in this image we have the Beehive. Parliament of New Zealand being battered by waves and rising sea levels. At the top the National flag is broken and in tatters. 

Luxon is hanging out his office window shouting, "it's too soon to talk about this..." and a woman in a bath tub with oars shouts really loudly back "IF NOT NOW WHEN?!"

Last year, I purposefully routed my trip to England to avoid the USA.
Paid more for my flight to do so.
But I know it's not safe there for queer folk like me.

It certainly isn't safe for people that aren't white.

So when do we stop sending athletes there?

My young teen encourages me to use dark humour.

You'll do great and will respect their needs. You can't shy away from it but bring them some light relief along the way.

Good luck ✊

We know why they won't. Money.
