- Description
A man representing the 'New Zealand economy' has had his feet encased in concrete and has been bound with rope and lowered to the sea floor; he thinks to himself 'Forget left and right, Up! What's wrong with up' as Finance Minister Bill English and leader of the Labour opposition Phil Goff, in deep-sea diving gear, point respectively to the right and to the left. Refers to the continuing sluggishness of the economy - ' The economy sank to its knees and crawled through the June quarter, growing just 0.2 per cent when the market had expected 0.8 per cent. In addition, Statistics New Zealand revised the March quarter's gross domestic product growth down from 0.6 to 0.5 per cent.' 'Economists now think it is likely to be March next year before Reserve Bank Governor Alan Bollard thinks of raising the official cash rate again.' (NZ Herald - 24 September 2010)
