- Description
In the top frame a man protests with a banner reading 'No asset sales' in front of an enormous tank. In the lower frame the driver, Prime Minister John Key, asks Finance Minister Bill English if he felt a bump. Bill English tells him to drive on as he felt nothing. Context: A huge majority of New Zealanders, including National Party supporters, oppose asset sales which the government, having just won the 2011 election, seem determined to proceed with. A single protester facing up to a huge tank is an allusion to the Tiananmen Square massacre in China in 1989.
