- Description
Leader of the Labour Party Walter Nash and Prime Minister Sid Holland peer with torches into the darkness of the Waitomo Caves. Scattered among the stalactites and stalagmites appear the words 'wages', 'police', 'prices', Antarctica', 'budget', 'housing', 'SEATO', and 'railways'. Walter Nash's torch picks out a grinning elf sitting on a toadstool. Context - probably just before the 1954 election, won by the National Party but in which Social Credit won 11% of the total vote.
