Comalco is living off you. Comalco cuts you off; let's cut Comalco off! Close down Comalco [ca 1974. Red version]

Poster (red on white) protesting about the fact that the foreign-controlled Comalco Bluff aluminium smelter gets continuous electric power at one quarter the price paid by private new Zealand consumers; in 1973 it drew off 10% of New Zealand's total power production, and was subsidised by $11 million. Illustrations show, at top left, a man wrapped in a blanket reading newspaper headlines about power cuts by oil lamplight; and at top right a smiling COMALCO official in dark glasses sitting at a desk, with a photograph of the Bluff smelter behind him.

Two copies held.

Estimated date based on the fact that 1973 consumption figures are mentioned.

Quantity: 1 colour photo-mechanical print(s) on poster..
