Cartoon outrage

WHAT a spectacularly smug cartoon (ODT, 6.5.22). The whole of NZ, left, right, progressive and conservative, condemns Mallard’s outrageously partisan overreach of his Speaker’s position and Yeo sneers at Winston Peters. Yeo must be very green behind the ears if he doesn’t recognise an abuse of power as blatant as this one. Time to get a new cartoonist who can direct his witticisms where we can all enjoy them — at the abuse of power rather than its victims. Rosemary McQueen
