Description: Shows a group of three 'fat cats' labelled 'Mighty River', 'Meridian' and 'Genesis' who are seated at a table greedily hoarding their funds and 'burning' cash. Below the table two 'Bolshevik Bombers', Labour leader David Shearer and Green Party co-leader Russel Norman are shown sneaking in with lit bombs. Refers to the strongly emotive media debate around the Government's decision to sell shares in Mighty River Power and other power companies. The Bolshevik bombers refer to claims in the media that the Labour and Green Party joint plan, released very close to the floating of the Mighty River shares, was a deliberate act of sabotage. There have been claims that the proposed state ownership of power companies and price caps reflect a collectivist approach akin to Communist models. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The scene shows dozens of orange squeezers that look like little boats floating on a Japanese lake beneath blossom. Context - The cartoon was drawn to accompany an article by Deborah Hill Cone which suggests that New Zealand needs an evil plan for world domination. She goes on to say 'Charlie's had one. They sold their cordial company to Japanese brewer Asahi for lots of clams. Mwaah-ha-ha. But instead of hailing the company's founders as evil geniuses, the sale seems to have prompted the usual rending of garments and unrelenting self-bollocking.' (Source - www.nzherald.co.nz - July 19 2011) The sale refers to the news that 'Asahi Beverages looks almost certain to become the new owner of Charlie's Group after the major shareholders said yesterday they had agreed to sell their combined 52.17 per cent stake to the Japanese brewing giant'.
