Hubbard, James, 1949- :"We've raised petrol prices because ..." 17 June 2011
Date: 2011
From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons
By: New Zealand Press Association
Reference: DCDL-0018135
Description: A fat cat businessman representing 'Fuel companies' raises one finger and says 'We've raised petrol prices because, one, crude oil is up US$8 a barrel...' and then he raises two fingers and says '... and, two, the NZ dollar is up only US1c!' Context - Since the last retail price drop on 24 May, the NZ$ has gained nearly 3 cents against the US$, so that should mean lower fuel prices. Except, since then the price of oil has risen US$5/barrel, or about US 5 cents per litre for refined petrol, most of which has been offset by the higher NZ dollar. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
Hubbard, James, 1949- :Commerce Commission milk probe - 99% fact free. 2 August 2011
Date: 2011
From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons
By: New Zealand Press Association
Reference: DCDL-0018506
Description: The cartoon shows a plastic bottle of milk with a label that reads 'Commerce Commission Milk Probe' and a sticker saying '99% fact free'. Context: In March, the 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. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Date: 2011
From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons
By: New Zealand Press Association
Reference: DCDL-0018033
Description: A woman tips her handbag upside down to prove that she has no money left. Her husband is reading a newspaper with a headline saying 'Buy state-asset shares or foreigners will - Bill English' and he says 'What? Nothing left for a state asset or two?... Context - The Minister of Finance, Bill English, is pushing a 'mixed ownership model' which allows the government to sell off pieces of four state owned energy companies, as well as sell part of its stake in Air New Zealand. This is hoped to generate an extra $5 to $7 billion for the Treasury's coffers. Mr English says Kiwis will be at the front of the queue to buy shares in the SOE's, but how many Kiwis out there have a spare $5 to $7billion just lying around to buy in to these 'sound, long-term investments?'
