  • Compass - Decimal Currency The Decimal Currency Show

    This episode of Compass covers New Zealand's change to decimal currency due to take place on 10 July 1967. It has comment on the experiences in Australia with dual currencies and the problems of non-exact equivalents without a half cent coin. The original version of this programme was due to go to air three months earlier, in September 1966, but its broadcast was delayed until after the November election as the programme contained comment on possible price rises after the introduction of decimal currency which might have embarrassed the government. The then Minister of Finance, Robert Muldoon, could not appear himself and would not let members of the Decimal Currency Board appear in the show so close to an election. The producer, Gordon Bick, resigned over this programme, citing political interference in broadcasting.

    Cartoonists create images which are often the most lasting. And impressions can change. An earlier Minhinnick cartoon of the President of the Federation of Labour, Tom Skinner, in the New Zealand Herald showed industrial labour as tossing matches into burning bush while the rest of us fought the fires of economic threat. But times and roles change and last week he was a helpful fellow getting the trains moving again. Other cartoonists have also showed changed images.
