Billionheirs! Inheiriting a $50 billion recession debt. 24 April 2009

Description

Shows a map of New Zealand punctured with big round holes. Text reads 'Billionheirs' and 'inheiriting a $50 billion recession debt'. Refers to Finance Minister Bill English putting a price on the recession- $50 billion over three years - and revealing fears of a bigger jump in government debt than previously forecast by the Treasury that would require policy action to deflect. There is a word play on 'billionheirs' and 'billionaires' and on 'inheiriting' and 'inheriting' suggesting that New Zealanders will be 'heirs to' or will 'inherit' a debt.
