Waitangi Day was supposed to be a coming together of our Nation to commemorate the signing of our founding document. Slightly hijacked by Mr Seymour.

Santa's got a huge pile of coal. If anything a lot of MP's should be getting it this year... but I'm not a miracle worker with caricatures 😂 So these two will have to do.

So, today I'm wrapping up People Watching. Massive thanks to everyone who has supported it & all the cool people I've met and drawn. I wrote an article in the Sunday Magazine today talking about the lessons I've learned doing it - and there were so many.

They're selling us fixes to problems that don't exist and calling it a success.

My little corner of the world was troubled of late by the question of how to make satirical comment on Israel’s state-sanctioned, lethal, and orgiastic violence without the risk of invoking antisemitic blood libel. Grateful to Gvir & co for providing a visual metaphor we can all use without fear.
Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir and other members of the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party wore golden noose-shaped pins to a Knesset National Security Committee meeting to discuss a bill to execute Palestinian detainees.

BONKERS!

The Luxon Govt’s rewrite of the RMA laws allows companies to claim financial compensation (from taxpayers) when councils introduce rules to limit pollution or protect the environment.

Let that sink in.

“If it’s okay for our ministers to speak like that, saying that our academics suffer from ‘derangement syndrome’, it makes it okay for the general public to say that.”
35,000 signatures land at Parliament calling for end of ‘disinformation’
Two former politicians have arrived at Parliament with near-matching petitions urging the Prime Minister to crack down on what they call “disinformation” from his deputies.

My friend died today. Her alcoholism finally got her. She was my idol as a child.

I'm 19 years clean & sober - everyday I know I'm the lucky one. I made it out alive.

Too many don't.

She will be forever loved.

If you have a dairy that got ramraided six times by the same kids and then they turned up one day outside asking everyone to contribute to “help make the dairy good again” then you’ll know what it feels like to hear National pledge to make our super savings as good as Australia’s

An oldie from 22nd April 2024 but even more relevant today than last year.

And each year that we continue to use fossil fuels.

Simeon's dream of being a top ranking gladiator is realised here in cartoon form... The reality is, people are being hurt unnecessarily for profit.
