Great cartoon, Karl!
Is the new, svelte physique (as depicted in your cartoon) of the Gunns CEO to be attributed to the staitened times his company has run into?

The desk should have been made of a stack of toilet rolls with “random” brown smudge marks “incidentally“ reading the word “science”!

Also, a rubbish bin next to the desk with “public consultation” and “due process” sticking out of it with big footprints all over both!

Could also have had Parliament sticking out of the man’s back pocket, while he is spitting wood chips all over the floor as he is on the phone to Bartlett!
Ok. I stop now.

This worked extremely well for me - I was drawn into the ‘Google/Bungle search page’, saw the man at the desk, saw the search term Zimbabwe, laughed instinctively and read the text where ‘borrow 2000million’ is juxtaposed with 170 jobs. A creative fresh take - cartoon / graphic. Gees we get some good stuff on TT.
What a pity our print media seem bound to keep on producing banalities and mediocrities. Look at the embarassing Martin Stevenson, who affects a witty style, believing that the mark of the intelligent columnist is to mention tree-huggers in every second article, to use affectations such as ‘Your correspondent’ and the like. He gets pride of place in the Thursday Examiner - he would be out of his depth on TT.

Gunns share price has this afternoon reached a low of $2.15. At this rate of decline it will soon have halved in less than a month.I note that nearly two months after his death the late David MacQuestin is still listed as a Director on the Gunns ASX Website. I suggest that this lack of attention to detail by the Chairman is now reflected in the self evident loss of confidence by shareholders. If Gays current bankers will not back him why should his shareholders! As current corporate debt is more than twice that of shareholder funds, I ask is Gay reaping the rewards of total corporate control,for, in his position as both CEO and Chairman he seems oblivious to the suggestions of those that surround him to the detriment of his workers, shareholders and now his current bankers?
