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.
