"My relationship with my brown brothers has never been warmer ... oops!" 14 May 2010
Date: 2010
From: Brockie, Robert Ellison, 1932- :Digital caricatures and cartoons
Reference: DCDL-0014337
Description: The cartoon shows PM John Key declaiming 'My relationship with my brown brothers has never been warmer'; he finishes with an 'Oops!' as he drops a 'Urewera bombshell'. In the background stands a group of angry Maori with a raincloud above them' they are from left; Tariana Turia and Pita Sharples, co-leaders of the Maori Party, then Hone Harawira?, Maori Party MP and Tuhoe Maori activist Tame Iti. Refers to the apparent about turn made by John Key after Tuhoe believed they were going to be granted ownership of the Urewera National Park. Chief Tuhoe negotiator Tamati Kruger said information gleaned from the corridors of Parliament before Mr Key's announcement indicated a majority of Cabinet supported returning the 212,000-hectare national park to Tuhoe. He said it appeared Mr Key had "intervened" at the end of an 18-month negotiation process based on worries expressed at last weekend's National Party regional meeting in Masterton, where concerns were raised that the Government was making too many concessions to Maori.
