Description: Shows Nick Smith, Minister for ACC, who is reading a newspaper article that suggests an 'ACC "crisis" over announcement'. A man points out a 'No Smoking' sign on the wall and Nick Smith says 'Well bring me some mirrors then...' Context - relates to the saying 'smoke and mirrors' meaning clouding an issue so that the truth is hard to arrive at. Labour's ACC spokesman Chris Hipkins said the Government manufactured a crisis in ACC in order to justify its plans to privatise the corporation. The Government plans to open up workplace insurance to competition from October 2012. Levy hikes have been followed by levy reductions which Labour suggests means the hikes were not needed in the first place. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
