- Description
Prime Minister, John Key, dressed in sports gear, waits impatiently for his turn on the running machine. Beside him is Finance Minister, Bill English, who holds a document called 'Budget weight-loss nutrition' and who says 'First we burn off the fat... then we build up the muscle!' A ghastly skeletal man representing the 'NZ economy' exhausts himself running on the machine - he is described as 'the biggest loser'. Context - John Key has said the high cost of KiwiSaver, Working for Families and interest-free student loans were unaffordable in the longer term. The three schemes targeted for cuts in the 2011 May budget collectively cost almost $5 billion a year.
