- Description
The cartoon shows Finance Minister Bill English standing on a turnscrew that represents 'NZ wages'; he yells 'Where the bloody hell are ya?!' as the screw is turned by two convicts chained to the handles. Nearby is a newspaper which reads 'Low wages a way of competing with Aus.' Context - Finance Minister Bill English screws the workers; he has come under fire for saying low wages in New Zealand help it compete with neighbouring Australia. Bill English said that 'New Zealand wages are 30 per cent below Australia's giving us an 'advantage'. Labour leader Phil Goff commented "This from a Government which campaigned at the last election on closing the gap with Australia".
