- Description
The cartoon shows Prime Minister John Key in three panels suffering a moment of insight when he realizes that what is happening in Libya and the Middle East has echoes in New Zealand and that mobs might overthrow him too. In the top panel he gives a statesmanlike speech about 'our Foreign Affairs people, keeping a close watch on Libya where the situation has deteriorated dramatically... It's a popular reaction to high youth unemployment, high food prices, widening disparities and ahem...ah...ulp...golly...look been thinking about this whole flash new BMW ministerial car thing... it could have been better handled by everyone including me'. Context - Many New Zealanders are finding the cost of living very hard to manage and Colonel Gaddafi of Libya is refusing to stand down in the face of popular uprisings across Libya. The uprisings against the repressive dictatorship in Libya follow those in first Tunisia and then Egypt and Bahrain.
