- Description
The cartoon shows the enormous Earthquake Minister, Gerry Brownlee, ushering a thin 'tax collector' through a door labelled 'Weight losers'. Brownlee says 'Look at all that flab! Time you had another course in belt-tightening! A newspaper lying on the ground has a headline reading 'Govt will look for new revenue in light of $18B quake blowout.' Context: Finance Minister Bill English today revealed fresh estimates put the cost of the Canterbury earthquakes to the Earthquake Commission (EQC) at $7.1 billion - some $4 billion more than earlier believed. That pushed the projected Crown deficit out to a historically high $18 billion, sparking fears of a possible credit downgrade. (Stuff 30 August 2011)
