The title is 'Gerry BrownLie?' and the cartoon shows the Minister for Earthquake recovery, Gerry Brownlee, saying 'I promise not to promise again'. The words 'Red Zone' appear beneath with the word 'faced' inserted between them. Context: The 'Red Zone' is the earthquake area in which houses cannot be rebuilt. Earthquake Minister Gerry Brownlee has apologised for falsely promising red zone homeowners they would be paid out for improvements to their house. Brownlee promised in June that, in some cases, home improvements like new kitchens would be included in the government settlement offer for red zone houses. But the offer is only valid if the improvement has added to the footprint of the house. (Press - 4 September 2011) Alternate version of DCDL-0018757 Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

A rather overweight and unattractive man has dressed up as a lady of the night and is pulling on a yellow wig in her Rachel Hunter disguise. She says 'Maybe NOW they'll let me into the Red Zone!' and the woman who has given her the disguise says 'It won't happen overnight... but it WILL happen!' Context - Businessmen and shopkeepers are becoming frustrated at not being allowed into the Red Zone to take up the businesses again. Pretending to be a prostitute might solve the problem.
