- Description
The ship 'Titanact' (wordplay on 'Titanic' and 'ACT') founders as a rat representing ACT MP David Garrett leaps into the sea and ACT leader 'Captain' Rodney Hide also with a rat's tail salutes as he remains standing on deck prepared to go down with the ship. In a second version Captain Rodney Hide lacks a rat's tail. Refers to chaos in the ACT Party because of a public spat between Rodney Hide and Heather Roy whom he has dumped as his deputy in favour of John Boscawen and more importantly the scandal caused by David Garrett's past misdemeanours which include his stealing a dead baby's birth certificate to get a false passport as a kind of joke. However the PM has affirmed that he believes Rodney Hide exercises good judgement, this his critics believe, because of the danger of the coalition slipping. (NZ Herald)
