- Description
Shows Rio Tinto Group, a British-Australian mining corporation, portrayed as fictional super-villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld from the James Bond film series, who is often seen stroking his white cat. Rio Tinto stands with his foot on a dynamite trigger, which is hooked up to the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter. He says "Give us the deal we want or you'll get... er... cheaper electricity. Damn- this super-villain act is harder than I thought!" Refers to negotiations between Rio Tinto and the New Zealand government, which has refused to offer more than a short-term subsidy to the mining giant in order to keep the aluminium smelter open.
