Fast Track backwards #nzpol #cartoon #repost

Cartoon depicts an dilapidated steam train reversing at high speed along washed out rail track and falling into empty space. Riding a coal cart is Shane Jones (NZFirst) waving a lump of coal - Dr Strangelove Slim Pickens style - shouting "Black is the new green!" David Seymour (ACT) waves a lantern towards the abyss. Chris Luxon (National) "You're right, backwards is way faster" Nicola Willis (National) looks towards a carriage ( labelled 'Polluters". ) of rich villiains. A sign bedside the rails reads 'Fast Track' points in the opposite direction.
