Description

The cartoon shows Prime Minister John Key holding a resignation letter from Fisheries Minister Phil Heatley in his hand. He sighs with relief at the thought that the large monkey representing Rodney Hide and Bill English and others is about to get off his back. Refers to the inappropriate use of tax-payer funded ministerial credit cards by Fisheries Minister Phil Heatley and Energy Minister Gerry Brownlee. They have both repaid the money and apologised but Phil Heatley has also resigned his cabinet post. It seems that there has been pressure brought to bear on the PM to do something desisive over this matter.
