Description

Shows a circus scene; Prime Minister, Helen Clark, stands on the shoulders of Finance Minister, Michael Cullen with a tooth brush labelled 'oral care' and a bag labelled 'Kiwisaver rates and rebates' in her right hand, while swinging from her left arm is a bag of "Pledge cards" and Taito Phillip Field, MP for Mangere, whose costume is stuffed with cash. Swinging from a trapeze nearby is National Party deputy leader, Gerry Brownlee, who holds onto National Party leader, Don Brash. He tells him to take a good hit to topple Helen Clark's precarious balancing act.

Cartoon shows the Labour Party is very close to losing its appeal over various blunders and the Phillip Field scandal, while its opponents are hopeful that the situation might worsen for the Labour Party.

The filename of the digital original states that the file is created on 4 September, 2005. However, the file creation date within the file properties suggests that it is actually created in 2006. Also, this cartoon is found to be published in the 2006 September 11th issue of MG Business. Therefore, it is concluded that the year as stated in the filename is incorrect.

Arrangement: This cartoon file was originally delivered to the library within a sub-folder called 'MG Business', which was inside a folder called 'AWS Cartoon highlights, Nov'04-May'07'

Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
