- Description
A man has skewered a canary that represents the 'govt' on a forked stick that represents the 'Pike River Mine disaster' and is forcing it into the entrance of a mine in the interests of 'mine safety'. Context: As a result of the Pike River Mining disaster the number of mining safety inspectors will increase fourfold in what opposition parties are calling a Government admission that previous safety standards were not up to scratch. Labour Minister Kate Wilkinson announced a High Hazards Unit including eight safety inspectors, a chief inspector and three inspectors for each of the mining and petroleum sectors. The Government at present has two safety inspectors: one for the mining sector (although another position is currently vacant) and one for petroleum. The changes would cost an extra $1.5 million.
