- Description
The cartoon shows a Maori butcher sharpening his knives as he prepares to take some choice cuts from the Prime Minister John Key. On the wall is a chart showing John Key on hands and knees divided Into cuts such as 'brisket', 'rib', and 'forked tongue'. Refers to a 'joke' by PM John Key when speaking at a tourism event in Auckland; Mr Key made a joke about enjoying a dinner at a Ngati Porou marae on the East Coast this week. He said 'the good news is that I was having dinner with Ngati Porou as opposed to their neighbouring iwi, which is Tuhoe, in which case I would have been dinner, which wouldn't have been quite so attractive'. The joke has been labelled badly timed and insensitive by a Maori Party MP. It was specifically referring to Key's apparent about-turn by denying that Tuhoe would ever be granted ownership of the Urewera National Park after Tuhoe believed that this was going to be the case.
