Reference: DCDL-0024477
Description: Shows a range of figures greedily drinking from a flowing pipe labelled 'Lucre without end'. The caption ironically explains that even though New Zealand is experiencing a drought, there is still money readily flowing (like water) for directors. The artist has explained the work: 'As most of the world adopts prudence and austerity as the best way forward, New Zealand business chiefs still want to keep their noses in the trough.' Wider context refers to the drought conditions over much of New Zealand and to the Government's planned asset sales, of Mighty River Power in particular, as a way to raise funds.

Description: Cartoon shows four well-fed men, identified as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) drinking champagne. One, holding a newspaper with headlines reading 'Minimum wage raised 50 cents an hour', remarks that with 'snivelling malcontents' having got a wage increase, as CEOs they also needed an increase. In February 2012, the minimum wage was to be raised by 50 cents an hour, less than had been hoped for, but which was criticised by other classes of society. At the same time, excessive pay increases were recorded by already well-paid and under-performing heads of corporations, the civil service and local bodies. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
