Description: A couple of wealthy 'fat cats' are beseiged by a crowd of poor people. They don't care about the gap between the rich and the poor so long as the 'useless slugs know where the line is'. Context: A Salvation Army report, called Divided We Stand, charts the widening gap between the top 10 per cent wealthiest residents and the poorest 10 per cent. The richest Kiwis now claim an income 10 times that of the poorest residents. This is considerably less than the huge margin seen in the worst countries Brazil, Russia, China and India where the wealthy earn 50 times more, but New Zealand won the dubious honour of the gap widening the fastest.

Reference: DCDL-0018320
Description: A man cowers under a pile of broken masonry that represents 'broken election promises', 'rising inflation', taxes, cost of electricity, petrol and food, and '15% GST'. He says 'Please, God, tell me he's joking...' as a second man prepares to dump another block of stone representing 'capital gains tax' on him. The second man says 'I'm holding the answer to all your prayers!' Context - The Labour Party is planning to introduce a capital gains tax if it wins the 2011 election in November. The cowering man seems to be thinking that this is the last straw after all his other economic woes. The broken buildings may mean that he is in Christchurch but they may be metaphorical.

Reference: DCDL-0023162
Description: Shows a politician declaring that manufacturing in New Zealand is booming while behind him a crowd of disgruntled people struggle to make a living. Context: The Opposition claims 40,000 jobs have been lost in the manufacturing sector in the past four years. The PM John Key says no, the sector is in good heart. This cartoon uses this debate as a metaphor for some of the sad social outcomes that are - undeniably - being 'manufactured' in our times.

Description: Shows a New Zealand family escaping New Zealand on a raft to Australia. New Zealand on one side regards them as losers but is selling assets including the river and Australia on the other side is selling itself and bowing to the 'Church of the mighty dollar'. Context: Refers to the decision of the government to go ahead with the sale of Mighty River Power in the second quarter of 2013. The cartoon refers to NZ's new culture of greed, callous shedding of huge numbers of Kiwis to Australia, varying degrees of coping. It's also a reference to a dark phase in American history when people who were already slaves were forced into even worse circumstances. While not suggesting NZ can be compared to that time, there is nevertheless a strong sense of sections of our community going through a bleak era while others are laughing (economically speaking). There's a grim sense of 'nothing would surprise me now'. (Context notes by cartoonist) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Context: MFAT (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade) will be cutting 305 staff. More than 2500 public sector jobs have gone since National took office in 2008. A Treasury report suggests that the Government should be looking to make public sector savings of $250 million a year, but says spending in the past two years has been cut by only $20m. The Treasury itself saved only $338,000. A further 2400 public service jobs could be slashed as the Treasury looks to deepen spending cuts. (Stuff 8 March 2012) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
