- Description
Shows the Prime Minister Peter Fraser, standing as Saint Peter with his keys at the Gates of Heaven. He is approached by the "Mountpark" Tribunal, led by the Judge who offers his hand to Fraser. The Gates have labels on them reading, "Mountpark Deadlock" "Now open". This refers to an incident during the 1948 dispute on board the ship "Mountpark" in Auckland Harbour.
Fraser was originally shown standing in a nightdress, but, out of respect for the figure of the Prime Minister, this was overlaid with a jacket, tie and trousers.
