Garrick Tremain

Garrick Tremain (born 1941) is a New Zealand cartoonist and painter living in Queenstown.

[2][3] On 3 December 2019 the Otago Daily Times published a cartoon by Tremain making light of the measles epidemic in Samoa.

[4] Many people questioned how a cartoonist could think this an appropriate subject for a cartoon, and also why the editor allowed it to be published.

[8][6] Protestors outside the ODT offices called for Tremain to be fired and Stewart to step down.

[5] On 23 December, the New Zealand Media Council ruled that Tremain's cartoon was "gratuitously hurtful and discriminatory".
