- Description
Prime Minister John Key and Minister of Energy and Resources Gerry Brownlee sit on logs in a national park roasting frogs over a fire. The prime minister mumbles through his cigar that he has decided to 'pull the plug on giving Te Urewera National Park back to Tuhoe' and Gerry Brownlee is pleased because otherwise they 'might not be able to mine it'. Refers to the government decision, apparently a u-turn by John Key, that the ownership of the Urewera National Park, which Tuhoe had regarded as a fait accompli, will not be returned to them. The frogs being eaten by John Key and Gerry Brownlee are endangered Archie's frogs that would be threatened by mining. By proposing to mine National parks, this government is undermining their purpose - that they're protected. The cartoon is saying that if the crown no longer own them, they might not be able to exploit them, or a to be more exact, profit from exploiting them.
