Description: The Mighty River Power shareholder is the Hydra, injured by a hammer and sickle attack, but whose multiple heads are still alive and angry. Mighty River Power shares reduced in value during April 2013 after the Labour, Green and New Zealand First parties proposed to buy back the shares once in government. The hammer and sickle suggests that these proposals were communistic. The mythical Hydra grew a new head each time one was cut off; thus the opposition could not kill the semi-privatisation of Mighty River Power. 'Hydra' also puns with Hydro-electric power, the product of that company. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

The team complains that they cannot see the ball or where it is to go and one says that his groin is not up to this.
