Description: Titled 'Living the dream', an old woman is shown, shivering beneath her blanket, and with electric heat and light disconnected, watching a television on which an advertiser urges her to 'Buy your shares in Mighty River Power now!' In April 2013, shares in the partially privatised Mighty River Power electrical generation company were on sale to 'Mum and Dad' i.e. small time, investors. Whether such putative investors would be able to afford shares, particularly when electric power prices were rising rapidly, leading to cases of hardship, was doubtful. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
Murdoch, Sharon Gay, 1960- :[Not dead, just really angry]. 27 April 2013
Date: 2013
From: Murdoch, Sharon Gay, 1960-: Digital cartoons published in The Press, Sunday Star Times, Dominion Post, and other publications
By: Dominion post (Newspaper); Murdoch, Sharon Gay, 1960-
Reference: DCDL-0024805
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).
