Description: A cricket match in which a large aggressive bowler with the letters 'ICC' on his back bowls a ball which bounces and then hits the batter on the head with the result that the batter knocks the wicket with his bat. The ball's trajectory is cleverly made up of a series of 'N's and/or 'Z's (NZ) which become the word 'Zimbabwe'. Refers to the current question of whether the New Zealand Cricket Team should go on tour to Zimbabwe in August; there is increasing pressure to stop the tour because of President Robert Mugabe's human rights' record. The International Cricket Council is refusing to take an ethical stand against playing Zimbabwe with the result that New Zealand will have to pay a large fine if the tour is cancelled.

Description: The cartoon shows Robert Mulldoon giving a death certificate to a man representing the 'Gleneagles Agreement' while on the floor, a man representing 'New Zealand's reputation', is commiting suicide with a sword labeled 'the tour'. Refers to the conflict over sporting ties with South Africa during the Apartheid regime and how they affected New Zealand's international reputation. The Gleneagles Agreement declared that the 'member countries of the Commonwealth embrace peoples of diverse races, colours, languages and faiths, and they have long recognised racial prejudice and discrimination as dangerous sicknesses and unmitigated evils. Members are pledged to use all their efforts to foster human dignity everywhere. At their London meeting, the heads of government reaffirmed that apartheid in sport, as in other fields, was an abomination and ran directly counter to the Declaration of Commonwealth Principles, which they made at Singapore on 22 January 1971'.

Description: The cartoon shows two lawyers holding up a scroll entitled, 'Ye writ of ye ancient ne exeat regno'. An All Black has just run right through the middle of it, to get to the try line, leaving a gaping hole. Both the lawyers look surprised. In the background two protestors holding protest signs have also tried to block the path of the All Black to the try line. Refers to an application to Justice J Reginald Hardie Boys, applied to the Supreme Court in June 1970, for the issue of prerogative 'writ ne exeat regno' to prevent officials and members of the All Blacks rugby football team from leaving New Zealand to travel to South Africa, Southern Rhodesia and the former mandated territory of South West Africa, on the grounds that the proposed tour would be prejudicial to the interests of New Zealand. The case was Parsons v. Burk and the application was turned down. Information regarding the court case Parsons v. Burk is included at the location of the original cartoon. 'Parsons' was the Wellington bookseller, Roy Parsons. Justice Hardie Boys was J Reginald Hardie Boys, father of the donor.

Description: The cartoon shows a man representing 'Oceania' holding a 'vote'. The shadow of a long arm points to him saying 'FIFA...FI..FO...FUM... I smell the blood of unethical men.' A second version has the shadow saying 'FIFA...FI..FO...FUM.. I smell the bad blood of unethical men.' FIFA has placed indefinite bans on Oceania president Reynald Temarii and the head of Tonga's Football Federation, Ahongalu Fusimalohi, which will probably have strong repercussions on New Zealand football as New Zealand together with Papua New Guinea, and island nations such as Tonga, Fiji and other Pacific Island countries make up the OFC (Oceania Football Confederation). Two members of the FIFA executive committee were caught offering to sell their votes in the contest to host the 2018 World Cup. They are Nigeria'a Amos Adamu who was filmed asking for money for a personal project and that Oceania Football Confederation president Reynald Temarii from Tahiti wanted money for a sports academy.
