"Um... maybe we should try some market research first..?" 14 June 2010
From: Slane, Christopher, 1957-: Digital cartoons published in the Listener, New Zealand Herald, or New Zealand Farmers' Weekly
Reference: DCDL-0014555
Description: The cartoon shows (from left) Minister of Energy and Resources Gerry Brownlee, who is wearing a 'sexy coal' tshirt, Finance Minister Bill English who wears a 'Double Dipton' tshirt, and PM John Key who wears an 'ambitions' tshirt. They stare at three tattered flags that bears the words 'Mining in Parks', 'Kiwibank sale' and 'Urewera settlement'. John Key who also holds a document headed 'whaling' comments that maybe they should do some market research first. Refers to all four of these recent issues - mining in Schedule 4 areas of national parks, government asset sales, the Urewera settlement with Tuhoe and the conservation of whales, as having been extremely contentious. So much so that a statement has been made that Kiwibank is not being sold and the mining is being 'rethought'. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
