Description

National Party Minister of Ethnic Affairs and Women's Affairs is thrown from a plane labeled 'Cabinet' by Prime Minister John Key who says 'Sorry Pansy... this is one flight you won't be taking!' Below a seal at Kaikoura says 'I thought humans were warm-blooded creatures like us... not cold blooded killers!!' Refers to the resignation of Minister of Women's Affairs Pansy Wong from her portfolio after it was revealed that on a trip to China in 2008 her husband Sammy Wong was involved in a business deal. An independent investigation of travel claims by Mrs Wong and her husband Sammy was ordered by Speaker Lockwood. The trip was made with a 90 percent taxpayer-funded rebate on their airfares, and it is against the rules to use the allowance for private business. Mrs Wong has apologised and paid back the $474 rebate for the China trip. An Auditor-General's inquiry called for by the Labour opposition is not considered necessary.
