Description: The scene is the interior of a church with a marriage service about to begin. The groom whispers into the vicar's ear that he hopes he can 'whip through this bit mate' because he wants to watch a rugby match between the Springboks and the All Blacks. All the men nearby are looking very pleased, but the women less so. Notes accompanying the cartoon in 'Having a ball' read 'It is not uncommon for calendars to be checked before dates are set for weddings, engagement parties and other important occasions to make sure they are not competing with equally important rugby test matches'.

Description: A kiwi stands gloomily at the top of a cliff preparing to fall backwards into the recession below. Text reads 'The New Zealand economy steadies itself... preparing for a backward somersault, twisting two-and-a-half turns, double-dipping tuck in the pike position... or as us common folk call it - a fall'. Context - Finance Minister Bill English has confirmed the government is concerned about a double dip-recession, echoing Prime Minister John Key's caution in the face of weak employment figures and a fast-slowing Australian economy. A recession is defined as two successive quarters in which the economy shrinks. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: A man representing the 'government' sweeps 'Pansy Wong' and her 'expenses' under 'The resignation carpet'. The cartoon is entitled 'The solution'. Context; the resignation of Minister of Women's Affairs Pansy Wong from her portfolio after it was revealed that on a trip to China in 2008 her husband Sammy Wong was involved in a business deal. An independent investigation of travel claims by Mrs Wong and her husband Sammy was ordered by Speaker Lockwood. The trip was made with a 90 percent taxpayer-funded rebate on their airfares, and it is against the rules to use the allowance for private business. Mrs Wong has apologised and paid back the $474 rebate for the China trip. An Auditor-General's inquiry called for by the Labour opposition is not considered necessary.

Description: Jaimee and Debbie discuss the possibility that the production of 'The Hobbit' will be taken overseas. Jaimee thinks that maybe a lesson has been learned about spending time making 'Goodbye Pork Pies' and less time making 'Without a Paddle'. Debbie is sorry for Tony who loved acting in the 'Lord of the Rings' movies and who is now looking for 'alternative employment opportunities'. In the last frame Tony is shown at an interview bravely saying 'The milky bars are on me' as a prospective employer in advertising tells him that they will let him know. Refers to the dispute between Warner Brothers, represented by Peter Jackson, and NZ Actors Equity over a union demand for negotiations over the terms and conditions offered in the contracts for actors and others working on the film that very nearly caused the film to be made somewhere else. The battle, which has been resolved successfully after meetings between PM John Key and Warner Brothers representatives, divided New Zealanders. The government agreed to amend the country's labour laws and offered a $25m tax break to the Hollywood studio Warner Bros. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The Australian (Diamonds) netball coach Norma Plummer tells the cartoonist that she is a Plummer (play on 'plumber') and fixes things that are broken - like her team. The cartoonist has suggested that a 59-40 Silver Ferns win in the second test of the current series - a 19 point loss for the Australians - looks like impropriety - 'I mean the TAB odds... a bit of fixing...' Text above reads 'Norma-l behaviour'. Norma Plummer was succinct in her summing-up; "It was a bit of a hiding, actually," she said. Reference to the Pakistani cricket match-fixing scandal.

A newspaper on the table has a headline reading 'No rapture or end of world as predicted'. Context - The woman is struggling to pay the bills as New Zealand tries to rid itself of debt by belt-tightening. Also the 'rapture' refers to a prediction that the world was going to end.

Description: Finance Minister, Bill English sits at a table with other members of the 'Strategic Economic Planning Committee'. He puts his hand on his heart and says 'I believe!' The other members of the committee are a cross-eyed Easter bunny carrying a basket of eggs that represent 'jobs', Santa Claus who represents 'wage rises' and a Christmas fairy who represents 'economic growth'. Context - The 2011 May budget has just been announced. The government has made cuts in KiwiSaver, Working for Families, student loans and the public sector and a statement about 'no new spending' in order to try to get the deficit down. The budget cuts are particularly hard on people with low or fixed incomes. Critics are concerned that the government does not appear to have plans for growth and development but is relying on belt-tightening to fix New Zealand's economic problems.

Description: At the top of the cartoon are the words 'The rapture...' The cartoon shows a man who represents 'fans' who has sprouted wings and is flying up to heaven with an ecstatic smile on his face. On the ground is a newspaper with a headline reading 'Carter & McCaw re-sign with NZRU'. Context - The re-signing of All Blacks Dan Carter and Richie McCaw for the next four years is good cause for New Zealand rugby fans to get the champagne glasses out and celebrate, for more than one reason. It means the All Blacks retain the two best players in the world, players a coach can build a team around. More flexible contracts will greatly lessen the threat of losing our best talents overseas. The 'rapture' refers to a prediction that the world was going to end. Harold Camping, the 89-year-old California evangelical broadcaster and former civil engineer behind the pronouncement that judgement day was nigh seemed to go silent when nothing happened on 21 May 2011.
