- Description
The cartoon shows a poster about fundamental sentences spoken in New Zealand that need to be understood by new immigrants. The sentences are spoken in a broad Kiwi dialect. The first two are greetings and farewell sentences and the last is a death sentence concerned with an energy provider cutting power. Refers to the death of Samoan woman Folole Muliaga when she was unable to use her oxygen machine because the power was cut off through failure to pay bills. The case has highlighted the plight of people who, unable to manage their finances and whose command of English is not great, are not heard by the authorities.
