Description: The scene shows dozens of orange squeezers that look like little boats floating on a Japanese lake beneath blossom. Context - The cartoon was drawn to accompany an article by Deborah Hill Cone which suggests that New Zealand needs an evil plan for world domination. She goes on to say 'Charlie's had one. They sold their cordial company to Japanese brewer Asahi for lots of clams. Mwaah-ha-ha. But instead of hailing the company's founders as evil geniuses, the sale seems to have prompted the usual rending of garments and unrelenting self-bollocking.' (Source - www.nzherald.co.nz - July 19 2011) The sale refers to the news that 'Asahi Beverages looks almost certain to become the new owner of Charlie's Group after the major shareholders said yesterday they had agreed to sell their combined 52.17 per cent stake to the Japanese brewing giant'.

Description: Shows a naked, but for a marijuana leaf, Minister of Finance, Bill English, sitting in a deckchair in a sinking ship called 'HMS New Zealand' looking very relaxed and smoking marijuana. Context - The cartoonist writes that this is a 'caricature of Bill English saying the country was on it's way to economic recovery oh yeah'. The cartoon was drawn to accompany Nick Smith's article 'Pipe dreams not just for potheads' published in NZHerald Business Friday 3 June 2011. Nick Smith writes 'Bill English describe New Zealand's prison system as a fiscal and moral failure'. He continues 'Pot growers should not be in prison, despite their repeated misdemeanours. It's such an egregious example of English's fiscal and moral failure that the Finance Minister really should get on board Norml's bandwagon'. And continues 'English wasn't stoned; at last there appear to be genuine signs of economic recovery... No, the only stoner element in English's environment is his Alice-in-Wonderland dilemma: should he eat the cake labelled "government spending" and grow the economy, or drink the bitter bottle labelled "medicine" and shrink it?'

Description: The cartoon shows a chimpanzee holding a round table on its head with one hand and scratching his head with the other. Context - Drawn to illustrate Deborah Hill-Cone's article on Kiwi psychology. She says 'I don't think New Zealanders feel we deserve to be a wealthy country. It is hard to change that view'. She goes on to suggest that Roger Kerr and the Business Round Table - 'The grunty think tank has been too clever. It has stuck to the granola end of policy - monetary policy settings and all that crunchy stuff - rather than following the vogue for behavioural economics'. Ted Klontz, a behavioural psychologist, suggests that when people are confused or under threat they resort to behaviour deriving from the lower parts of their brain, the mammalian or the reptilian levels.
