Date: 2010
From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons
Reference: DCDL-0014768
Description: The cartoon shows Minister of ACC, Nick Smith, lurking in a dark corner and whispering to a 'fat cat' businessman in Privatisation Alley, inviting him to see some interesting ACC proposals. Refers to ACC contracting out thousands of new claims to external managers. In April ACC said it would contract out about 600 long-term claims to third parties in a "benchmarking" exercise to compare its performance with that of the private sector, but the latest proposal will see about 3000 new claims handled by private managers over a two-year period. Labour says is more evidence of the Government's privatisation plans for the scheme. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Date: 2011
From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons
By: Accident Compensation Corporation (N.Z.)
Reference: DCDL-0018451
Description: In the first frame which is entitled 'Mourning in Norway' a man reads about the 'Mass murder in Norway' and in the second frame, entitled 'Dawning in NZ' a different man reads in the newspaper a headline 'Man convicted for horrific bomb threat against ACC' and is horrified to think that 'It could happen here?' Context: The first frame relates to the massacre of almost 80 people on 22 July 2011 by a right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik. And the second frame relates to NZ Government plans to open up workplace insurance to competition from October 2012. Levy hikes have been followed by levy reductions which Labour suggests means the hikes were not needed in the first place.
