"Now, when I say jump..." 3 November 2010
Date: 2010
From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons
Reference: DCDL-0016054
Description: The cartoon shows the American icon Uncle Sam with a tiny 'NZ' kiwi on his finger; he says 'Now when I say jump, jump..' He holds a 'Defence Review' newspaper that has a title that reads 'NZ is "stalwart" partner of U.S." and that continues with the words 'Improve bilateral relations with "like minded sta"..' Refers to the launch by John Key of the Defence White Paper, the first comprehensive defence review in 13 years, which sets the defence blueprint for the next 25 years. Fourteen hundred jobs currently done by those in uniform will be given to civilians. The government says these are back room roles covering administration, IT, some museum staff, some band members and Air Force photographers. Some roles will be cut altogether in an effort to save money but it does not know how many at this stage. Refers also to National's long-awaited defence white paper that puts heavy stress on how New Zealand's security is enhanced by improving bilateral relations with "like-minded" states. In other words, let's cuddle up to Washington. The review goes as far as saying that New Zealand's security benefits from being an "engaged, active, and stalwart" partner of the United States.
