- Description
The cartoon shows Prime Minister John Key, sharpening his knife in a butcher's shop as he contemplates a row of slaughtered pigs hanging from hooks and prepares to trim the fat from the 'KiwiSaver' pig. John Key says 'Don't panic! We're just trimming off the fat!' Context - John Key has said the high cost of KiwiSaver, Working for Families and interest-free student loans were unaffordable in the longer term. The three schemes targeted for cuts collectively cost almost $5 billion a year. He confirmed that less would go in to KiwiSaver accounts from tax credits and more would go in from both individuals and employers.
