Description

Shows Prime Minister Helen Clark as a cat standing on top of a wall telling leader of the National Party John Key that he needn't look so cock-sure as she has had nine years, not nine lives. On the path below is John Key as a dog, looking very smug. Refers to the fact that National is well ahead of Labour in the run up to the election and that Helen Clark has had nine years as prime minister, not nine lives which in the saying 'a cat has nine lives' implies that the cat has escaped death nine times.
