Description: Cappucino Dreams. In the first of four frames Finance Minister Bill English carrying his briefcase and a load of banknotes labelled 'housing subsidy', explains that he must work here in Wellington even though his home is in Southland. In the second frame his children are shown learning the ways of commerce in the school tuckshop; in the third frame Bill English explains that our experts have been able to postpone climate change until the farmers and carbon burners have made their profits and in the last frame he is shown arriving at his Karori home with the Beehive in the distance and 'Southland' on the gate. Refers to Bill English's embarrassing struggle with his Karori houng subsidy, and to the New Zealand's ETS strategy, a deal that has been stitched up between the National government and the Maori Party without the Labour Party that has resulted in taxpayers subsidizing big business and farmers for the next four years. (until 2013) The deal between the two parties provides that the new emissions trading scheme (ETS) will halve the cost of energy increases to consumers but polluting industries will have an easier ride and longer to adjust through taxpayer subsidies.

Description: Two children sit on the steps outside their house watching smoke pouring out of the glasshouse. One of them says 'Our greenhouse gases would sure upset the Emission Trading Scheme budget... Grandad smokes his pipe in there'. Context - The main elements of New Zealand's ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme) were introduced in July of 2010. Some critics object on the grounds that it will not help our economy but opposing critics say it is not much more than window-dressing and will not achieve a lot in terms of real reduction of emissions.

Description: A worker stands on the edge of a tiny island on which stands a small building that represents 'workers' rights' and stares with consternation at the surrounding sea that respresents 'employment laws' and that is eroding the island. The worker holds a newspaper that reports 'Scientists give chill warnings on climate'. Context - Scientists opened a climate change conference in Wellington yesterday (31 March 2011) by stating that changes in climate being experienced around the globe were beyond their worst-case scenarios. The founding director of the Climate Change Research Institute, Martin Manning, said policy-makers needed to stop waiting for scientists to come up with answers about trends for the future, or definite measurements for how much sea levels or temperatures would rise by. Almost simultaneously, devastating floods battered Sir Lanka, Brazil and Queensland earlier this year. Professor Manning said policy-makers should start getting prepared for greater risks, instead of waiting for the lengthy process of scientists linking events together. "We can't wait till the scientists understand everything." (Stuff 1 April 2011) Employment law changes in New Zealand took effect 1 April have given all employers the right to dismiss employees within a first 90-day "trial" period, with no rights to grievance procedure. This rule previously applied for small businesses of fewer than 20 employees. Now it applies in all workplaces, no matter the side of the workforce. The regressive changes also include restrictions on trade union access to a worksite, relaxation of fairness tests on dismissals, the ability of employers to bypass the union in collective negotiations, the possibility to exchange holiday days for money, the right to shift public holidays without payment, and the right for employers to demand a medical certificate for one day's sick leave. There is nothing fair in the workplace law changes, according to ICEM-affiliated Engineering, Printing, and Manufacturing Union (EPMU).

Description: Tim Groser, Minister responsible for International Climate Change Negotiations, leans out of the pocket of a huge cigar-smoking business magnate and through the fug he creates says 'To suggest our climate change policy is determined by that of the big polluters is nonsense!' A signpost nearby says 'Copenhagen'. Context; Tim Groser - in Mexico (Cancun) for renewed climate change talks (after Copenhagen at the end of 2009) - hit back last night at vocal Labour and Green critics whom he says have "no understanding of what the negotiation is about". He described a suggestion by Greens co-leader Russel Norman that New Zealand was siding with "big polluters" such as the United States as "absolute bollocks."

Description: Text reads 'Cost of carbon credits plunge by 75% in less than a year. The cartoon shows an egg timer that represents the 'Emissions trading scheme'; the two bulbs of the egg-timer represent 'trees' and 'cows'. Context: A capsicum exporter gets carbon credits from the Government. In a complex deal, it subsidises about half the carbon costs he has to pay under the country's existing Kyoto commitments. New Zealand's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) became official in 2008, but it was only in July 2010 that businesses like his greenhouses actually had to start paying to pollute.... The wall of wood is how we have been disguising our lack of any realistic action, even with the introduction of an ETS regime. Strip away the pretence and it seems the national game plan has become a decision to pay to pollute. Kyoto was meant to put a price on carbon that would change behaviour. Terry says look at New Zealand's actual figures for Kyoto 1, and its projections out past what would have been Kyoto 2, and the chart for gross emissions is just an ever-rising line.
