Description: 'Mum' and 'Dad', holding a newspaper titled 'Real estate prices soar', stare with dismay at their son, his partner, three children, a dog and a large amount of luggage, arriving at the front door. The son announces that he has thought of a way for his parents to 'help us save for a house'. In June 2013 house prices, especially in Auckland and Christchurch, continued to soar. Savings for a deposit, especially with loan restrictions, seemed to be out of the reach of most families. For many families, continuing to live with their parents and other family members, with the concomitant overcrowding and stress, seemed to be the only option.

Evans, Malcolm Paul, 1945- :Fonterra bull. 8 August 2011
Date: 2011
From: Evans, Malcolm Paul, 1945- :Digital cartoons
By: Press (Christchurch, N.Z.)
Reference: DCDL-0018528
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.
