Description: Two men in a pub chat at cross purposes over a beer. One of them reads an article in a newspaper entitled 'Goff and Key Speech' that says 'Tax exemptions, selling off the family silver, schemes, bribes, sweeteners?... Who pays for all this in a bid to prop NZ up!?' The second man reads a paper with a title 'Hayman return rumour' and says 'Frankly, if that's what it takes to get Carl Hayman back into the AB's front row, I'd give it to him'. Context - They are talking about PM John Key's considering the sale of state assets to help the economy and about the All Blacks. Prime Minister John Key believes the Government could free up as much as $10 billion from the partial sale of key assets including state owned power companies and a stake in Air New Zealand. The second man is talking about a report claiming the NZRU had been in secret discussions with Hayman's French club, Toulon, over the possibility of a short-term return to New Zealand to allow the 46-test prop to resurrect his All Black career at the Rugby World Cup. There is nothing to the report says boss Steve Tew. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
