- Description
In the first frame 'Sisyphus' struggles to roll a huge boulder up a mountain strewn with stones. In the second frame Labour leader Phil Goff sweats and swears as he struggles to push a supermarket trolley laden with a boulder that represents 'Labour policy' up a similar mountain also strewn with stones that represent 'the Zeitgeist', 'low-polling', and 'The Greens'. Context: Labour is struggling in the polls that lead up to the November elections. They are far outstripped by National and the Greens appear to be taking some votes from them. In Greek mythology Sisyphus was a king punished by being compelled to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this throughout eternity.
