Cartoon depicts National Party Prime Minister of New Zealand's 3 party coalition dressed as a clown wearing long shoes as he is tripping over the skull of smokers ( refers to plans to cancel the smokefree target and repeal legislation). Luxon's head has struck a bee's nest labelled 'Tiriti O Waitangi' from which angry bees fly to sting him on the ass. His top hat falls off labelled '7 Houses'. He is about to fall face first into budget custard while crying profuse clown tears "Why can't I get a break?" he whimpers plaintively.

Cartoon depicts god of late summer storms, Notus with an underling sitting in a cloud over looking down at a storm-ravaged New Zealand. Notus is throwing lightning bolts downwards. Underling: "HEY, ISN'T IT SUPPOSED TO BE SUMMER DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW?" Notus: "IT IS, BUT I'M TRYING TO DECLUTTER... I WISH HUMANS WOULD STOP SENDING ME ALL THIS HEAT." A large pile of lightning bolts sits next to him.

Cartoon depicts ACT MP and Minister of Internal Affairs Brooke Van Velden dressed as an ancient Egyptian queen/Pharaoh riding a giant gold block labelled ‘ACT’s R.W. Agenda’. She wields two whips to drive her slaves, dragging the block towards a pyramid peaked with gold labelled ‘1%’. Her slaves consist of National Party MPs, including PM Chris Luxon, Nicola Willis, Simeon Brown, and others. Luxon: “No wonder Brooke wasn’t keen on an anti-slavery bill.”

Can we just park this? No. Our current government seems hell-bent on dumping the downsides of global warming on our children.
