Shows a piggy bank representing 'BNZ' (Bank of New Zealand) holding three deflated balloons and landing with a bump after falling out of the sky. Text reads 'High Court decision $654 million tax avoidance bill'. At the bottom of the cartoon are the cryptic words 'swine flew' which pun on the 'if pigs could fly' idea of impossibility and also on the swine fly epidemic sweeping the world at the current time. Refers to the fact that the Bank of New Zealand faces a $654 million tax bill after losing a major tax case against the Inland Revenue Department in the High Court at Wellington mid July 2009.
