- Description
PM John Key throws dollar notes to two pigs who dance with glee; one of them represents 'Foreign film makers' and the other 'finance companies'. John Key says 'Look how much happier they are when they're well fed and free from constraints'. Context; the foreign film makers are Warner Brothers; 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. The finance company was 'South Canterbury Finance' and the cartoon refers to the government's bail-out of the South Canterbury Finance Company so that investors would not lose money, after the company went into receivership. SCF was taken into receivership but its investors were guaranteed by the government and so all 30,000 fortunate high-risk investors will be paid out $1.6b thanks to the taxpayer.
