- Description
A member of the 'rich list' on a launch named 'Rich Listers Fortune' nearly spills his champagne; he shouts at the sweating 'taxpayer' who is rowing the dinghy that tows the launch saying 'keep it steady I've got a full glass'. A second dinghy named 'Finance Co' is tied to the back of the launch and slowly sinks. In the sea floats a newspaper with the heading 'Rich listers up for govt bailout'. In a second version the launch is named 'Rich List' but is otherwise the same as the first cartoon. Refers to the news that the failed finance company 'Equitable Mortgages' has gone into receivership. Taxpayers could be paying as much as $178 million to bail out the failed finance company which is owned by one of New Zealand's wealthiest families, that of the late Peter Spencer. Calling in the receivers triggers a bailout under the Government's retail deposit guarantee scheme, set up to protect investors after a wave of finance company collapses.
