Description: Captioned 'A matter of priorities', two stretcher bearers carry a dead cow labelled 'NZ's clean, green image' to 'Spin doctors - fix anything'. One asks 'How much further?' The other suspects that the it is 'Some years away'. The scare over contamination of the Fonterra milk and dairy products in August 2013 had repercussions of New Zealand's 'green' and '100% pure' image, so sedulously promoted by the government. The attempts by government publicists to counter such damage seemed to take higher priority than the basic health aspects of the scare. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: A newsreader, reads out 'Scary hairy news'. In the background are comments such as 'It sounds so horrific...and filthy...and stinkingly biological...Does anyone actually know what it means???', 'Who cares what it means...Its got a powerfully evocative onomatopoetic evil about it that is a newsreader's dream', 'Botulism Botulism Ka Botu! Ka Botu! It could be the next great All Black haka...' A small voice on the edge of the cartoon protests 'It's not a laughing matter'. In the foreground are monstrous figures emerging from 'toilets and long-drops' and 'outfall and outflows'. Accompanying note from cartoonist states: 'The word "Botulism" is everywhere in the media right now, but in our world of spin and 'once-over-lightly', no one explains what it means. Cartoon shows a visual image of the what the word 'suggests' on its own.' There was a botulism scare in the possibility of the existence of the disease in Fonterra products, which occurred in July-August 2013.

Description: A man at a computer, the cable for which is labelled 'New spy laws', wonders 'Why do I feel as if my formula for privacy is being contaminated?' The cartoonist posts a 'dirty pipe!' warning on the cable. Accompanying note from cartoonist states: 'The loss of privacy occasioned by the new spy laws will damage our society far more than any botulism scare. The cartoon asks a question as if from the cartoonist [or anyone] sitting at a computer. The cartoon addresses the current fear of loss of privacy. It uses the metaphor of "a dirty pipe" said to be the cause of the botulism scare affecting exports by Fonterra.' The concern over the possibility of botulism outbreak caused by a dirty pipe in one of Fonterra's milk plants coincided with the passing of the GCSB Amendment Bill, which legalised electronic surveillance on New Zealand citizens.

Description: Shows a man in green with a cap labelled 'NZ' pushing a very large can up a steep slope. The can is labelled 'product confidence'. Refers to Fonterra recalling some baby formula products after fears that they may be contaminated with botulism, which has resulted in China and some other countries recalling other milk and whey products from New Zealand. There are fears that this will compromise New Zealand's clean, green image and lead to difficulties exporting New Zealand products.. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The prime minister, John Key, states that the 'Chinese want the truth. That's why I'm going to China - they know that any leader of a country that's 100% pure must have CREDIBILITY coming out of his ears'. An aide mutters '...or something Mr Key'. Accompanying note from cartoonist states: 'A Prime Minister pathologically addicted to 'spin' needs to be very careful when waltzing into the presence of people wanting nothing less that the truth. Cartoon depicts John Key.' On August 12 2013 the Prime Minister John Key said that he will visit Beijing later this year to personally apologise to Chinese consumers over the Fonterra milk botulism scare. At the same time he defended the use of the '100% pure' New Zealand brand.

Description: An older woman is feeding her infant grandchild, who sits in a high chair. The baby's mother stands near her and opens a container of baby formula. The grandmother looks at her with great concern and says, "Oh, you're not still using that stuff, are you? Haven't you heard about the recall?" The mother tells her, "Relax, it's for me... I'm gonna save a fortune in botox treatments," and smears the formula onto her face. Refers to the recall of infant formula and other products sold by Fonterra after safety testing revealed botulinum bacteria in whey products. Botulinum toxin is the main ingredient in Botox, which is used for cosmetic purposes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. (Stuff.co.nz, 7 August 2013) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Under the caption 'Product Recall' three defective products are shown - Fonterra 'May contain traces of poor production process, PR and botulism'; GCSB 'May contain traces of arse covering, FBI ingratiation. Will contain traces of nuts and trampling of civil rights'; Criminal cases review "May contain traces of obfuscation, procrastination, Bain Pora and large doses of Judith Collins'. In August 2013, the three main issues which were engaging public attention were the botulism scare from Fonterra's dairy products contamination, the affair over the GCSB and its spying on New Zealanders, and criminal cases which required a review of the original convictions, such as the Bain, Pora and Mark Lundy cases, and the eagerness of the Minister of Justice, Judith Collins, to convict.

The scare has cast doubt on New Zealand '100% Pure' tourism brand (see TV3 News and The Guardian 5 August 2013). Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Two cows gaze at a Fonterra factory, belching smoke and leaking slime. One cow says 'And they reckon we make a mess!' In August 2013 authorities in New Zealand announced a global recall of up to 1,000 tonnes of dairy products after tests turned up a type of bacteria that could cause botulism. Products included were infant formula, sports drinks, protein drinks and other beverages. The countries affected were New Zealand, China, Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Saudi Arabia. The contamination was later found not to cause botulism, but this, together with earlier scandals, damaged Fonterra's image of a 'clean green' operation. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

By August 2013, following the botulism contamination scare threatening the export market, the ongoing problem of cattle and dairy products polluting waterways and previous difficulties with other dairy exports, there was doubt that Fonterra's promise of a bright future as the major New Zealand export industry was proceeding to plan.

The contamination came from unclean pipes in the processing. Fonterra's handling of the crisis was clumsy and led to the resignation of the manager of the company's milk division.
