From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons

Reference: DCDL-0014469

Description: The cartoon shows a walrus sitting on a rock in a sea of 'opposition'. He holds a paper that reads 'Tax cuts will offset GST hike - Bill English' and recites a GST version of Lewis Carroll's 'The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things....' Refers to the tax cuts in the 2010 budget that were funded by a rise in GST from 12.5% to 15% which means that those on lower incomes will be no better off than before. Bill English presents the tax cuts as a means to offset the GST rise, rather than the other way round. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
