Description: Shows New Zealand Prime Minister John Key wearing clothing from the colonial period, and holding a large axe. A tree stump and freshly cut down tree beside him reads, 'Solid Energy'. Key points his finger and says, 'I cannot tell a lie! Elder and Palmer did it!' Refers to former Solid Energy CEO, Don Elder, and former Solid Energy chairman John Palmer, who lead the state-owned coal company into debts of close to 400 million dollars. A commonly known anecdote states that George Washington, first president of the United States of America, cut down his father's cherry tree as a child, and when questioned about it, admitted to the deed stating that he cannot tell a lie.
