- Description
The cartoon shows Finance Minister Bill English as a homeless man; he has a trolley for his few belongings and Holds up a sign that reads 'Will work for peanuts'. Context - Bill English has said that 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'. Council of Trade Unions secretary Peter Conway says "the vision suggested by this Government is that we should compete with Australia using our low wages. That will only result in more and more New Zealand workers going to Australia. It is a barren vision."
