My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609... It's been a year. I dedicate today's cartoon to my dearest friend Peta Kennedy. She was a staunch supporter of me & my work and know she would have approved this message. Sending love to her family at this time ❤️‍🩹

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609... 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. #NzPol #Caricature #Santa #Cartoon #NaughtyList

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. www.thepost.co.nz/culture/3609...

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.

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. #NZPOL

“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.”

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. Peta Kennedy 1975-2025

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. #NzPol #Cartoon #30PercentPure

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608... 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. #NzPol #Cartoon #Caricature #SimeonBrown #Government

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608... Today COP30 starts in Brazil... I can't list all the things this coalition has gutted from the environmental plans. A sad day for all... #NzPol #Cartoon #COP30

I'm so glad I reached out Bluesky! I've had four people connect with me. That's way more than I ever expected! Thank you to everyone for spreading my message. We're pretty isolated here AND I'm shit at asking for help 😃 Story of my life. Anyway, from one AuADHD family to many others thank you ♥️🙌

@2littlegaypuppies.bsky.social i loved your post by the way! I was responding - 😂😂😂 you're good! He's obsessed with crazy maths (experimental & too full on for my poor engineer husband 😂)

#Kikorangi I don't usually ask so openly here but, the time has come. I've been homeschooling my 12yr old boy since 2019. He's turning 13 in Dec & I'm acutely aware that he needs a friend. Is your teen ADHD? A gamer? Love maths? Comedy? Memes? Homeschooled? We'd love to connect. We use Discord ♥️

Could you pls do an old ex-Art History teacher a solid, sign this petition to save the subject in our schools, and pass it on. These philistines need to hear from you all. Thank you petitions.parliament.nz/a1acf19a-72f...

My cartoon in today's www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3608... The Scream is a metaphor for nature & Munch was the receptor for its pain. Here he is, so overwhelmed he's taking time out of the painting only to find more pain in the news... #NzPol #PoliticalCartoon #ClimateChange #EdvardMunch

Love this idea! Paddington gets his revenge 😃

@bodycartoon.bsky.social more retrospective work please! And then a book too 😎🔥

The select committee report on the Regulatory Standards Bill is in. 📝166,000 submissions. ❌98.7% opposed. Yet National are going to continue supporting it. 🗣New Zealand could not have been louder, but Luxon still isn’t listening.

Well, that didn’t go how I hoped it would. To say I’m a little disappointed in the NZ voting public’s decision on Māori wards is an understatement. Here’s a thought about aspiring to the bare minimum (& given our #nitrate problem even that might be too much) My Stuff #cartoon today #nzpol

Govt to cut #JobSeeker benefit for 18 & 19 year olds who’s parents earn over $65,000, even if the teens have a disability or health condition. With #CostOfLiving & the job shortage they’re cranking up stress levels to 11, all to meet a target. My #cartoon today about hard-nosed #NZpol

“Tony Blair should be heading to The Hague, not to Gaza.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains why Tony Blair should be on trial for war crimes in Iraq, instead of planning to destroy Gaza further with Trump on ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored.’ Read Mehdi’s article on Tony Blair: zeteo.com/p/tony-blair...

RNZ Article - Hundreds of teens with a health condition, disability may be cut from Jobseeker benefit www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... My old image from last year still rings true. Even more so.

The Govt wants to cut Health NZ staff working on alcohol harm & end its research & social marketing campaigns. Sixty five organisations have signed an open letter to the PM, calling for alcohol industry to be excluded from policy making. My #cartoon today #NZpol #alcohol #Health #PublicHealth

Important point by Pearse in the Herald here - identifying that NZF et al don't REALLY care about what happened except as something to be weaponised. Would be great if a few more in the media/pol class were able to reflect on this BEFORE they spent the last 2 days escalating in their own right

Hands in pockets from a top dog always strikes me as pretty arrogant. Someone should be advising Christopher Luxon that it's really not a good look.
