Description: Text reads 'Kiwis less willing to take on debt - survey'. One small boy offers to lend his friend 20 cents but the friend refuses the offer, saying 'No thanks - I'll tough it out until pocket money day'. Context - A new Nielsen survey, commissioned by independent money guide Sorted and released today, shows 56 percent of Kiwis are less willing to increase their debt since the recession, and only four percent are inclined to take on more. The research also found that 26 percent intend to change the way they manage their debt over the next 12 months. The most common ways people intend to change are by cutting their spending (62 percent) and refusing to take on further debt (54 percent). Increasing debt repayments and investigating lower interest rates also featured. (3News June 6, 2011) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Prime Minister John Key and Finance Minister Bill English proudly stand on either side of a small fellow engulfed in an enormous jersey that represents the 'deficit' as they prepare to be photographed. John Key tells the fellow in the jersey 'it's the biggest we can borrow' while Bill English says 'Don't worry, you'll grow into it..' Context - Treasury today published the Government's financial statements for the 10 months ended April 30, which showed the debt mountain had grown to $71.6b. The figures were released amid criticism that more debt is being taken on than necessary, and the Council of Trade Unions said the Government was "trying to scare people" by its misleading use of high borrowing figures. The Government is practising "good cash management" by borrowing an extra $5 billion this year to take advantage of low interest rates despite gross debt hitting $71.6b, a senior economist says.
