Description: 'The Politician' cartoon strip. The media have nicknamed the minister 'Chopper' not because he took one ride in a helicopter at the taxpayer's expense but because he has axed so much funding. Context - "the Budget this year will reduce new operating spending to around $800 million to $900 million a year, from the current allowance of $1.1 billion. We will prioritise new spending on health and education and set a path to meaningful surplus in 2014/15 - a year earlier than forecast. (Business Scoop 9 February 2011) The 'chopper' reference relates to the news that Prime Minister John Key's office is blaming heavy traffic for booking an air force helicopter to ferry him to and from the V8 races so he could make it home in time to change for a black tie dinner.
