Reference: A-091-064

Description: Prime Minister Michael Savage and Minister of Education Peter Fraser, each wearing a 'W.E.A' tie, are greeted 'G'day Mick!' and 'Howdy Pete!' by two men in the street. The greeting seems to offend Savage and Fraser who call the men 'cads'. Text reads 'The Prime Minister and several members of cabinet were at one time members of W.E.A. classes - it might not be a bad thing for our opponents if they were to go to W.E.A. classes now, but it might be a very dangerous thing for us if they did. Perhaps we should lay down a condition for a subsidy that you will not admit ex-cabinet ministers. Hon P. Fraser, Minister of Education.' Context: Suggests anxiety about class origins by the PM and Minister of Education. Handwritten in ink on verso 'Original by Minhinnick (Auckland) in one of Wellington newspapers about 1932'. Librarian questions that date as Savage was PM from 1935 to 1940 which is clearly when the cartoon was drawn. There is also an address handwritten in ink on verso 'V.G. Newman, 40A Wright St., Wellington. April/64'. Quantity: 1 drawing(s). Physical Description: Ink drawing, 175 x 240 mm
