- Description
Shows four frames illustrating different news headlines. The first frame is titled 'Power situation critical. Area cuts by M.E.D.' It shows a man saying, 'Crikey Mum, they must have really meant all that stuff they have been saying for weeks!' The next frame is about Sidney Holland's overseas travel. Holland is moving so fast between countries that he is just a blur. The third frame shows the dolphin Opo and Sammy Sea Lion. Opo is receiving a lot of media attention whereas Sammy is stuck in a fisherman's net. Sammy says, 'South Islanders, bah! See how those North Islanders make the umost of their natural resources.' The final frame is very small and simply reads 'Oops... nearly forgot... there was a cricket test in Wellington...er... oh well'
