Walker, Malcolm, 1950- :Price of milk. 4 August 2011

The teats of a cow are plugged into an enormous machine that includes outlets to the American Capitol building for legislation, 'traders' buildings, a bank and the rest of the world. Below the incredible machine is a single pipe dripping a little milk into a glass. To th right of the glass is a milkpail and a milking stool and to the right is the Beehive - both images have question marks over them. Context: In March, the Commerce Commission began investigations into whether it should make a formal inquiry into the price of milk, under Part 4 of the Commerce Act, which regulates markets with little competition and little likelihood of an increase in competition. But Fonterra has now welcomed the Commerce Commission's decision not to make an inquiry into the price of milk. The Commission is, however, still investigating claims that dairy giant Fonterra is misusing its market power.
