In Photo Review, we present highlights from Cappicade, Extravaganza, and Procesh.
Cappicade cartoon which roused the ire of a Labour Party conference delegate. He strenuously opposed further government aid to students because, he said, they published cartoons such as this. The cartoon, from a feature "How they will die," shows ".Mr. Nordmeyer stabbed in the back by his own party."
Tattooed on the stabber's arm arc the words "NZ Seaman's Union." The conference delegate who objected represented this union. "Not another penny" he told the conference—and gained national television coverage.
Victoria Labour Party club members sold "Cappicade" at the conference to raise election funds.
