Description: A pot of gold, according to its label, worth $30 million, is poured into the aluminium smelter at Tiwai Point. Surrounding onlookers, 'Rio Dorado', 'Tiwai', 'Meridian' and another, make comments. The anonymous person asks 'What the flamin' hell is all that yellow stuff?' 'Tiwai' replies that it is 'liquid gold from the beehive smelter' and 'Meridian' comments 'Never smelt better'. Accompanying note from cartoonist states: '$30 mil is a gilt-edged sticking plaster over a festering smelter. Still, good work if you can get it.' In August 2013, after threats from Rio Tinto ('Rio Dorado' - 'Golden River'), the majority shareholder of the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter, of closure, the government gave a $30 million subsidy to support the smelter, guard against any unemployment and ensure that the smelter's power supplier, Meridian Energy, would still be able to offer a reasonable share price in the upcoming partial sale of its assets. This was widely regarded as blatant corporate welfare.

Description: The Mayor of Auckland, Len Brown, is surrounded by monsters, representing the city's councillors. Hence the pun 'Orcland'. Commentary from the artist reads "Auckland city council is currently a murky mess in which the Mayor has admitted a two-year affair, and Councillors have censured him in unforgiving terms. Then it turned out that less than half of the Councillors have filed returns on their own 'gifts accepted' etc and one of them, a leading critic of the Mayor, himself has concealed a four-day overseas junket he was given last year."
