"Don't worry, I can drive this baby thru' parliament no sweat!" 14 November 2010

- Description
Shows Minister of Commerce Steven Joyce driving a powerful car painted with the words 'Liquor Bill' and with a number plate reading 'Booze Power' - he holds a can of beer and says 'Don't worry, I can drive this baby thru' parliament no sweat!' In the sky above is a plane filled with MPs 'going on a summer holiday' which is a reference to the panning of MP travel perks because of misuse. Refers to the National's continuing resistance to calls to lower the drink driving limit from 80mg to 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. Steven Joyce refuses to introduce the lower limit in new road safety legislation, opting instead for a two year research project on drivers who have accidents while reading between 50 and 100mg of blood alcohol.
