- Description
The cartoon shows a vast Gerry Brownlee, Minister for Energy and Resources, looking as though he could personally plug any size of oil spill, at a press conference. When he is asked about his reaction to the US oil spill disaster in light of the news that he has just signed off on a NZ off-shore oil-drilling deal he replies that he will sit on it and that if there is a leak in New Zealand he will sit on that too. Refers to the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico which BP is having great trouble stopping and also refers to the news that Energy Minister Gerry Brownlee recently awarded Brazil's Petrobras an exploration permit on the Raukumara block off the East Coast, and said he was aware of environmental concerns, but legislation was being worked on in terms of environmental requirements needed to be put in place in New Zealand's exclusive economic zone.
