Description: A man sits comfortably in his armchair reading a newspaper. Through the window there is a view of an attractive garden. His wife comes in and reads over his shoulder the large headlines 'Shutdown of inefficient bores'; she assumes this means that parliamentary broadcasts are going to stop and is delighted, but she hasn't seen the smaller print below saying 'Rotorua steam crisis". The cartoon makes a comment on the opinion of some people about the broadcasting of parliament. It also refers to the problem of too many bores being drilled in Rotorua and thus geothermal activity being dangerously reduced. Other Titles - "Oh, good! are they going to stop broadcasting parliament?"
