Hubbard, James, 1949- :"No worries.." 9 August 2011
Date: 2011
From: Hubbard, James, 1949-: Digital caricatures and cartoons
By: New Zealand Press Association
Reference: DCDL-0018553
Description: A huge bear representing 'world markets' snuggles up with a tiny sheep representing 'NZ Govt'. Scattered around are several chewed bones. The sheep has the eyes of PM John Key and says 'No worries'. Context: The bear signifies a downward market trend. Prime Minister John Key and his Finance Minister Bill English continue to brush aside ratings agency Standard & Poor's warning New Zealand is among the countries particularly vulnerable to the fallout from the current market meltdown. New Zealand is among those S&P says could experience export-driven slowdowns, either through weaker demand or lower export prices, or both. In addition, countries whose financial systems rely heavily on overseas markets for funding, again including New Zealand, might find it more difficult to roll over debt.

Walker, Malcolm, 1950- :"Will this take long?" 19 July 2011
Date: 2011
From: Walker, Malcolm, 1950- :Digital cartoons

Description: The cartoon shows Prime Minister, John Key, with his arm round President Obama, who holds a sword dripping with blood and bearing the words 'Congress debt deals'. John Key is holding out a camera with which he is taking a photograph while President Obama asks anxiously 'Will this take long?' Obama has a sword stuck right through him and behind him in the distance is a mediaeval army baying for blood. Context - John Key had an hour-long meeting with President Obama during a recent visit to the United States. Key was keen to talk free trade but it was very evident that Obama had much bigger things to worry about as the United States edged closer on Tuesday (26 July) to a devastating default as Republicans and Democrats deadlocked over competing plans to raise the debt ceiling, one week before a deadline to act. President Obama took to the airwaves in an effort to shift the debate. He called the recent weeks of negotiations over raising the debt ceiling a three-ring circus and asked the public to rally behind his effort to avoid a debt crisis, both temporarily and through the next presidential election.

Scott, Thomas, 1947-:'Geeze, Bill. You gotta do something...' 7 October 2011
Date: 2011
From: Scott, Thomas, 1947- :[Digital cartoons published in the Dominion Post]
By: Dominion post (Newspaper)
Reference: DCDL-0019086
Description: On the left Prime Minister John Key hisses 'Geeze, Bill. You gotta do something' and in the foreground Finance Minister Bill English who wears a pair of trousers representing 'Retail Deposit Guarantee Scheme' into which he has just made a nasty smelly mess, points at his rear end and says 'I want to remind everyone, I inherited these trousers from Labour.' Context: the initial two-year scheme introduced by the Labour-led government in October 2008 at the height of the global financial crisis, ends on October 12 and runs until December 31, 2011. In the initial scheme over 90 companies signed up and this time only a handful have done so which questions the need for it. Bill English said it would provide certainty for depositors, financial institutions and taxpayers but noted they also distort the market and impose costs.
