- Description
The cartoon shows Prime Minister, John Key, and the new leader of ACT, Don Brash, as cowboys sitting astride their mounts and wearing masks. They are both attempting to play the part of the Lone Ranger but John Key suggests that one of them should play the part of Tonto, his sidekick. Context - Don Brash has overthrown Rodney Hide from his leadership of the ACT Party and has taken the role himself. Context - In his letter of resignation from the National Party, Don Brash took the opportunity to let John Key know that he disagrees with interest-free student loans, the Working For Families marginal tax rate, and the "exorbitant cost" of KiwiSaver subsidies. The cartoon suggests that Don Brash intends ACT to have considerable influence over government policy.
