- Description
The cartoon shows Allan Highet, Minister of Internal Affairs, seated at a desk with two rubber stamps, one marked OK, one Reject. In a wastepaper basket on the left is a rejected proposal to spend lottery money on restoring the Wellington Town Hall. On his desk are his plans for betting on greyhounds and he is handing on an approved paper allowing extra permits for racing and trotting. Refers to the public perception that Highet was friendly to racing and gambling and favoured them unfairly in his role as Minister, both granting permits and administering the distribution of lottery funds.
Highet was Minister of Internal Affairs in the Muldoon Government between 1975 and 1984
