The Budget bites deep - The Key-NACT budget has stripped the worker

Enough said. The Key-Dipton-Hide budget has stripped the NZ taxpayer of any relief from the NACT assets for the rich policies.

This link further shows how out of reality the Key NACT government is - both in terms of policy and the PM's brain cells (sells). http://www.thestandard.org.nz/key-proud-to-have-imaginary-kiwis-support/

Israel's image as a civilised nation

Israel & Gaza

With these cartoons the recent act of international piracy condoned by the Israeli Government is summed up.
The IDF spokespersons being interviewed on TV and Radio sound so insincere about their "truths" one cannot believe that they can expect support from any rational country.

The Tory-Lib-Dem coalition in UK cartoon- why can't we have critics like this in NZ.

The cartoonists in the UK are certainly more perceptive than the journalists and cartoonists in NZ. The coalition of NACT & Maori is as much pinnochio like as this representation of the UK relationship. With just as many hidden agendas waiting in the wings.

Checkmate comment on Key

This quote was translated and adapted to fit the New Zealand situation into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010 .

“The danger to New Zealand is not John Key but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Prime Ministership. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Key Government than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their Prime Minister."

"The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Key, who is a mere symptom of what ails New Zealand . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
New Zealand can survive a John Key, who is, after all, merely a fool.

It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

Budget Rorts and politically naked, Key's lack of clothing obvious

The Keynglish 2nd budget was released yesterday. Hints at reviving Nosferatu Douglas' privatisation agenda and giving Hide free rein to sell off Auckland's water supply to the NACT rorters incorporated along with a forecast rise in debt, inflation and indirect tax along with fees.
These two cartoons are a great demonstration of the management processes of the Key led NACT government.

The worm Turns - albeit slowly

New Zealand Today - Pictures, cartoons and images of NZ under NACT

Herr. Rodney Hide as the Sunday Star Times portrayed him
Ironic really as the SST is leading the charge to unseat Hide's vociferous mayoral critic!!

New Zealand under NACT

These images reflect the humourlessness of New Zealand under the NACT government of "Smile & Wave" John Key.

Herr. Key flexes his muscles while wearing a Nazi helmet

Herr. Rodney Hide -
The Minister in charge of the NACT anti-humour
and the removal of democratic rights Ministries

The controversy inspired by ACT councilors on the North Shore against the local Mayor when he dares ridicule and satirise their present leader, Rodney Hide - the Jack Boot of Epsom - is a good example of the stasii like state this present government is taking the country to.

There is some hope, though, Tom Scott is still in action as this cartoon satirising the American scene shows. Let's hope the cartoonist's bite is also directed against the NACT policies and actions in New Zealand.

While walking down the street one day John Key is tragically hit by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter.. 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'

'No problem, just let me in,' says Key.

'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.'

'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says N.Z. P.M.

'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends, Hide, Douglas, Double Dipton and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises....

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

'Now it's time to visit heaven.'

So, 24 hours pass with Key and a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'

Key reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.'

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. 'I don't understand,' stammers Key. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time reminiscing about ripping off the N.Z. voter, destroying Auckland's local body democracy.... Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.

What happened?'

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday, John Boy, we were campaigning... ...


Today you voted.'
