The Trevor De Cleene side is holding a walking stick, the Roger Douglas side a sheet of paper with the words 'The final solution'. Refers to the controversial introduction of the Goods and services tax in New Zealand, promoted strongly by the two Labour politicians depicted Inscriptions: Recto - beneath image - NISBET Quantity: 1 cartoon bromide(s).
