- Description
'The Politician' cartoon strip. A reporter invites the minister to respond to criticism over his handling of the oil spill. The Minister replies 'Inaction speaks louder than words.' Context: Concerns anger over what people have seen as a lack of communication about the salvage and clean-up operation of the Rena disaster and what seems like slowness and lack of concern on the part of the government and this minister in particular. On 5th October 2011 the container ship 'Rena' became stuck on the Astrolabe reef off the coast of Tauranga. It is spilling oil, threatening coastlines and killing seabirds.
