The words 'Kiwi wizardry' heads the cartoon. A second version has the word 'WHIZZardry' heading the cartoon and a third version lacks the heading words. Refers to the fact that the government has agreed to amend the country's labour laws and has offered a $25m tax break to the Hollywood studio Warner Brothers in order to get agreement to allow Peter Jackson to make the two 'Hobbit' films in New Zealand.
