- Description
Depicts Prime Minister John Key as Icarus flying above New Zealand as MP Peter Dunne as Daedalus looks on concerned. Key is flying with the aid of wings which he doesn't notice are falling apart as he flies over New Zealand. Below him are the SkyCity Casino tower, Solid Energy CEO Don Elder falling to the earth (marked as "the golden handshake"), and above him is an angry sun with a Maori moko (tattoo). Icarus was the son of Daedalus who dared to fly too near the sun on wings of feathers and wax which then melted. Refers to John Key soars high but heading for a fall due to the controversies over the sale of Mighty River Power (Maori water rights), the collapse of Solid Energy and the convention centre secret deal with Sky City.
