- Description
The cartoon shows the Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, as a kangaroo, leaping off into the distance. Struggling along behind is NZ PM John Key on a pogo stick thinking that he is 'nearly there'. Text reads 'Keeping up with the neighbours... Context - This probably refers to the National Party's pledge to close the gap between Australian and New Zealand wages by 2025. Finance Minister Bill English was quoted in a newspaper this morning (9 April 2011) as saying New Zealands competitive advantage with Australia included its wage differential, with our 30 per cent cheaper workforce." This amounts to an admission of defeat on the goal of lifting New Zealand's wages against Australia.
