Nick Smith Surgery
Shows Minister for Local Government, Nick Smith, wielding a chainsaw and hacking off the limbs of a man who represents 'local government'. The limbs represent 'loans', 'cultural', 'social', and 'sport'. Context: Stories of debt spiralling out of control as councils pursue pet projects far removed from what they should be doing have prompted the government to step in and announce a series of reforms for the local government sector. The government says the role of the reforms is to ensure councils focus on their core services and exhibit a high degree of fiscal responsibility.
