Description: A couple phone the government, represented by the Beehive, and say that 'We have just got a scratch and win card in the mail and it says we've won a worry-free future!', but they are worried in case it is a scam. The voice of the government replies that it is not a scam and that 'all you need do to collect your prize is to scratch the idea of protest...while we sell off your assets!' Refers to action taken by the government in 2013 making it illegal to interfere with any structure or ship in an offshore area that is to be used in mining, with an exclusion zone of 500 metres. By November 2013 Anadarko preparing to do exploratory drilling for oil in the Tasman Basin caused a resurgence in protests. Was a 'worry free future' and sale of assets worth the loss of citizens' right to protest? Colour and black and white versions available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).
