- Description
Text reads 'Government stuck with34 BMWs costing $200,000 each'. A wheel with the letters 'B.M.W.*' is in the centre and below is the text '*Big Money Waste'. A second version shows a pair of legs that represent 'Labour' running out of the side of the cartoon; text above reads 'fleet-footed' (wordplay on 'fleet' of cars) 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. (NZ Herald 18 February 2011)
