- Description
The cartoon shows Minister of Transport, Steven Joyce, sitting on a beach dressed as the Roman emperor Nero and playing the fiddle while in the background a ship founders. 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. Authorities are racing to get the oil and the containers off the ship before it breaks up but the weather is frustrating efforts.
