Sue Bradford
The cartoon shows Sue Bradford, the Green MP who recently resigned from parliament after losing a bid for the co-leadership of the Green Party when Jeanette Fitzsimons retired. She is shown in colour while a group of people in silhouette accuse her, saying 'Sue Bradford... you're a hard-working, collaborative, successful high-achiever. Get out!' The suggestion is that it not simple disappointment that caused her to resign but perhaps frustrations caused by the inner workings of the Green Party. Sue Bradford was notably interested in social policy while the Greens focussed heavily on environmental issues.
