- Description
A Maori Party MP, possibly Co-leader, Pita Sharples, because of the hair style, digs deep into the kete representing 'the budget' and finds that his hand goes into an empty bag and through a hole in the bottom. The Beehive can be seen in the background. Context - The Maori Party, a support partner of the Government, said the Budget secured more than $200 million for Maori initiatives. Co-leader Pita Sharples said the party has managed by sitting at the Government table to secure gains for Maori and avoid some losses. He told Parliament there would be measures in the Budget that would disappoint the party's supporters, but there were also significant gains. The cartoonist explains - 'I felt that being coalition partners, the Maori Party got a pretty thin deal out of the budget, especially in terms of support for the lower socioeconomic sector of society which I feel they have a mandate to act for. (actually I think they have been pretty ineffectual and poorly dealt with as coalition partners overall and at each budget)'.
