Description: 'The Politician' cartoon strip. The minister tells reporters that 'our attempts at making motoring more affordable have hit a snag. We've developed a car that runs on milk. Context - Petrol prices rose another 3 cents per litre on 22 March and now 91 octane petrol prices have matched the peak price in July 2008 of $2.19/litre. The retail price of milk rose from $1.69 per litre last June to $1.82 in January but Agriculture Minister David Carter said it would be a bad decision for the Government to intervene to lower domestic prices. "We are dependent, as an export nation, on what we receive for our products internationally, and while that does have a negative, immediate impact on New Zealand consumers, frankly, the better the primary sector performs the better all New Zealanders will be," he said. Dairy giant Fonterra has frozen the price for the rest of the year. Manaia Health PHO Chief Executive Chris Farrelly has slammed the high cost of milk saying it is a national outrage that a country that produces 15 billion litres annually cannot supply cheap milk to the domestic market. "Milk is vital for children's health and bone development. Milk and milk products provide energy, protein, fats, vitamins and minerals. It should be seen as an essential food - not a luxury" says Mr Farrelly. The New Zealand Children's Nutrition survey shows that milk consumption has dropped by a third since the 1980s, replaced by soft drinks which are usually much cheaper.

Description: Text reading 'The Commerce Commission changes its mind' appears at the top of the frame. Below is the word 'MILK' in large lettering and below that again is a boffin who says 'The noun has become a verb'. Context - Complaints about the high price of milk for New Zealanders. Dairy juggernaut Fonterra has dismissed a complaint to the Commerce Commission alleging it is artificially inflating the price of milk in New Zealand, saying even if it could manipulate a high price, it would not be making record profits if it did so. That's because the higher the price Fonterra gets for milk, the more it has to pay to its farmer-owners and the less it posts in profit, said chief financial officer Jonathan Mason. An official complaint to the commission claims New Zealand's biggest company, and controller of around 90 per cent of the country's raw milk supply, is setting an artificial, or notional, milk price in a "deliberate and measured campaign" to lessen competition in the New Zealand market.
