- Description
The cartoon shows two seamen, one of them probably Prime Minister John Key, who stand on the deck of a container ship called 'Political Will'. One of them says 'We're just going to wait until the bad weather blows over'. Context: This is a reference to criticism of John Key's leadership during the crisis caused by the grounding of the container ship 'Rena' on the Astrolabe Reef off the coast of Tauranga. The ship was heavily laden with containers and was leaking oil. The cartoon suggests that there was a lack of 'political will' and the excuse was the 'world financial crisis'. This at the time that John Key wanted to concentrate on his election campaign - the elections to be held 26 November 2011.
