Banned and Forced to Flee

Erroneously branded as political satire by a self proclaimed intellectual giant closely associated with New Zealand´s Prime Minister, the team responsible for bringing these transmissions to light has been hounded from the country, forced to flee to the relative safety of mainland China.

Political satire is now illegal in New Zealand.

Satirical cartoonists, who previously tendered daily comment on the foibles of their elected elite are now unemployed.

Thrown out of the government media organs, suppressed in the private press through fear of litigation, political satirists are in crisis.

In a widening development ancient civil liberties are under full assault.

Even bona fide law-abiding journalists must seek shelter from the storm.
