- Description
Shows a man in gumboots and a sunhat standing in a desert, where the sun shines brightly and a 25 cent piece falls from the sky. A heading says, 'Drought declared .... news' and the man says, 'Only 25 cents an hour has trickled down in the last year'. Refers to a 25 cent increase in the minimum wage to $13.75, which will come into effect on 1 April 2013, amounting to an additional $10 per week for a full-time. Reports have stated that a living wage in New Zealand is $18.40 per hour. 'Trickle-down economics' is the idea that economic benefits to businesses and the weathy will 'trickle-down' to eventually benefit the poor as well. The term is generally used ironically or as pejoritive. New Zealand has suffered a severe drought during summer 2012-2013. (New Zealand Herald, 26 Feb 2013)
