- Description
The cartoon shows Prime Minister John Key walking on a beach and getting his golden rugby boots covered in oil. A penguin nearby says to its companion 'Did you infer, from what he said, that this was more likely to have happened under Labour?' In the background the container ship 'Rena' is aground on a reef. Context: Refers to the container ship 'Rena' which is grounded on the Astrolabe Reef off the Bay of Plenty and threatens to become an environmental disaster of huge proportions as oil spews into the sea. The government received criticism for what seemed to be a slow response. The accident happened in the run up to the November elections and during the Rugby World Cup. The 'golden boots' refer to John Key's political grandstanding.
