- Description
Cartoon shows a huge gorilla that represents 'Fonterra' tearing apart buildings that represent 'community infrastructure' and 'port investment'. In the background is a sinking ship and in the foreground is Prime Minister, John Key, saying 'Wot?' Text reads 'News - in saying that the govt should protect some port towns, the Maritime Union compared Fonterra to a 500lb gorilla'. Refers to the fact that dairy giant Fonterra is switching shipment of its products from Timaru to Port Lyttelton for the next five years and dropping the port at New Plymouth to ship through Auckland, Tauranga and Napier. Critics claim the extra cost of railing 22,000 containers to Auckland and Tauranga must make use of the Government's $90 million KiwiRail subsidy to be financially viable.
