- Description
A creature that looks like a Maori tiki and represents 'compensation', has '$' signs around it's mouth and represents 'a possible repeal' to the 'Foreshore and Seabed' legislation is born. It is accompanied by a shriek 'Son of a beach', the shriek being caused by 'labour pains'. 'Son of a beach' is a play on the phrase 'son of a bitch'. Cartoon refers to a likelihood that the government (to appease the Maori Party) will repeal the Foreshore and Seabed legislation that was made by the Labour government in 2004. The word 'compensation' refers to Prime Minister John Key's statement that compensation for Maori grievances over the foreshore and seabed is unlikely to be paid out. This position is at odds with a Ministerial review of the law, which along with suggesting the act should be repealed, recommended compensation for losses under the Foreshore and Seabed Act.
