By 1994 successive Labour and National governments had, with ideologically-driven enthusiasm, attempted to reduce the size and power of central government by privatising as many state agencies as possible. In the process they seriously undermined the foundations of the once-lauded welfare state.

Garrick Tremain was a well-established landscape painter when he began political cartooning in 1988. His cartoons now appear in eight New Zealand dailies.
