Description: Shows a boy at one end of a table reading a paper with headlines including: Jobs, Quakes, Poverty, GCSB, Asset sales and Dairy! The boy comments: "Crumbs! - was there ever a time when our way of life was more threatened?!" The men say: "Yeah it is serious - but I don't think they'll drop the fish quota!" "And really - we have plenty of cover for Cruden and Barrett!" The little man also adds "Leaky homes, crop disease, nitrate poison" Refers to John Key's statement on Campbell Live that New Zealanders care more about snapper quotas than they do about asset sales. There was a widespread assumption that Key would back down after strong protests from fishermen after proposals to cut the snapper daily-take limit for recreational fishermen. Also refers to the announcement that Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett had been ruled out of the 24 August Bledisloe Cup match in Wellington because of injuries. Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows two men chatting on their way to the rugby (Canterbury colours). One is talking about the Kim Dotcom affair and the news that the GCSB (New Zealand Government Communications Security Bureau) has been accused of spying on Kim Dotcom because they apparently were ignorant of the fact that Dotcom had residency and the GCSB cannot spy on New Zealand citizens. The whole conversation consists of acronyms. Colour and black and white versions available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).
