- Description
Shows a carpark 'Jurassic Parking', near the parliament buildings. In one of the parks is a huge dinosaur with the face of Roger Douglas, former Labour Finance Minister. On the back of the dinosaur is a small Rodney Hide, leader of ACT, who holds the reins to guide the dinosaur. He says 'back raptor back...' as he parks the dinosaur. On the ground is a newspaper that says that Hide is keen for Douglas to make a Cabinet comeback. Refers to the return to politics by Roger Douglas who has become a list MP for ACT. There is a pun on the words 'Jurassic parking' which calls to mind the well-known film 'Jurassic Park'. The implication is that Roger Douglas is a dinosaur, somehow past being effective or viable.
