- Description
Text across the top of the cartoon reads 'MPs get $200,000 BMW limos' Prime Minister John Key leans out of one car and says 'We're tightening our belts too our SEAT belts!' In a second car Deputy PM leans from a window and says 'Ha! Ha!' In the background is the Beehive. Context - The Department of Internal Affairs' Ministerial Services division decided late last year to replace its three-year-old fleet of BMW 730Ld limousines with the latest model. But with the Government's focus on cost-cutting in the public sector and ordinary New Zealanders facing hard times, the deal has been widely criticised. Prime Minister John Key should have been aware of officials' plans for the multimillion dollar purchase of 34 German limousines in time for the Rugby World Cup, months before the deal was inked, documents show.
