Description: A kangaroo and a kiwi are sitting up in bed together under a blanket labelled CER, both puzzling over what to do. New Zealand prime minister Robert Muldoon peers through a keyhole at them and tells Australian prime minister Malcolm Fraser that 'I think they're getting the message'. Exhibition caption reads - Perhaps a marriage of convenience at the beginning, CER was to blossom into a long-standing, stable and mutually beneficial relationship. At the end of 1982, for New Zealand prime minister Muldoon particularly, CER was an economic lifeline at a time when the economy was performing badly and job-creating major new industries, promised during the 1981 election campaign, looked more and more unlikely.

Description: A man representing the 'Govt' and carrying a large pair of clippers, has just cut off the long bill of a kiwi which represents 'KiwiSaver'. Text reads 'Kiwi seen in Russia found to be a common bittern - news'. 'Just "bittern"' is the title of the cartoon. Context - The government intends reducing its contributions to the KiwiSaver scheme - worth up to $20 a week - while retaining the $1000 kick-start. It is not yet known by how much the government tax credit will be reduced - whether it will be slashed, shaved or halved and whether the cuts will be across the board. Mr Key is taking his biggest risk is in turning superannuation into a political football again and tinkering with a love affair that has always been about more than individual nest eggs anyway. The ASB's head of private banking and wealth management Jonathan Beale says 'Fund balances are growing, and the KiwiSaver scheme has proven to be a successful way of turning around the poor savings habits of many New Zealanders'. (Stuff and NZ Herald 16 May 2011) Also Russian reports of a kiwi found in southwest Russia have turned out to be false. Russian newspaper Pravda reported today that zoologists have identified the bird as a bittern, a member of the heron family. (NZ News 11 May 2011) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
