Description: Shows a bull representing 'Fonterra' that slavers and whisks its tail as a hopeful person representing New Zealand and holding a bucket labelled 'cheap milk' tries to milk. There is a wordplay on 'bull' as in male cow and 'bull' as in 'bullshit' or nonsense, could also be a reference to 'bull markets'. Context: Refers to the very high price of milk which seems unethical when people are struggling to feed their families a healthy diet. In March, the Commerce Commission began investigations into whether it should make a formal inquiry into the price of milk, under Part 4 of the Commerce Act, which regulates markets with little competition and little likelihood of an increase in competition. But Fonterra has now welcomed the Commerce Commission's decision not to make an inquiry into the price of milk. The Commission is, however, still investigating claims that dairy giant Fonterra is misusing its market power.
