Description: Deputy Prime Minister Bill English and Co-leader of the Maori Party Pita Sharples try to push a huge wheel that represents 'Constitutional reform' up a steep hill; air is escaping from the tyre. In the foreground Prime Minister John Key bows before the queen. The cartoon suggests that PM John Key can continue to bow to the queen as though she is irrelevant to his 'brand of constitutional reform'. John Key promised a constitutional review in the Maori party's support deal; the review has stalled at high level by arguments over both the terms of reference (the Maori party wants wider ones than National) and who should be on the team. An example of John Key's brand of constitutional reform is Rodney Hide's drive for reform of the way laws are made. A second example is local government. The drivers are Hide as Local Government Minister, associate minister John Carter and Environment Minister Nick Smith. A third is co-governance and co-management in Treaty settlements, a radical shift brought about by Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson - this limits regional councils and adds to their costs in money and time - viz Waikato River. Until very recently the Department of Conservation administered and managed that land on behalf of the nation of New Zealanders as a statutory duty. In a widening range of places it is now to share management. Next is the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Description: Prime Minister John Key welcomes Pita Sharples, Co-leader of the Maori Party, to a seat in the sun but points him towards a seat that represents 'Foreshore seabed concession' because all the 'Auckland supercity seats' are taken. Refers to the argument about Maori seats on the supercity council which Pita Sharples advocates. The suggestion in the cartoon is that because the Maori Party has already won what can be seen as a concession in the Foreshore and Seabed debate, (a review) they should not expect to get the seats that they want on the supercity council.
