- Description
The cartoon shows Prime Minister John Key wearing a pinafore like that of the iconic '4 Square man'. The logo on John Key's pinafore reads 'Mr 4 sale'. He smiles cheerfully and holds several documents relating to 'NZ Employment law', 'NZ assets' and 'NZ Gambling law'. Context - Various attempts to improve New Zealand's economic situation. Employment law changes in New Zealand took effect 1 April and have given all employers the right to dismiss employees within a first 90-day "trial" period, with no rights to grievance procedure. This rule previously applied for small businesses of fewer than 20 employees. Now it applies in all workplaces, no matter the size of the workforce. John Key believes the Government could free up as much as $10 billion from the partial sale of key assets including state owned power companies and a stake in Air New Zealand.(Source: www.stuff.co.nz, 26 January 2011) The gambling law refers to news that the PM wants New Zealand gambling laws changed to include a casino in a proposed international convention center in Auckland.
