Description: Cartoon shows three men sitting in a pub and discussing fears about beach access. The first man says "If iwi get to charge for beach access you'll have to pay if you've no Maori blood!" A second man says "So nobody will get free access as there are no full-blooded Maori anymore", the third man says "That's true!". The three ment continue talking, text reads: "Right! All the rest will be on a sliding scale of discounts depending on their mix", "It's totally absurd!!", and "So what's new?". Context - Some people fear they will lose easy access to the beach as a result of the bill and others are very critical of the government's haste in pushing it through. The present government has repealed the Foreshore and Seabed Act and replaced it with legislation that removes the foreshore and seabed from Crown ownership andllows iwi to seek customary title to parts of it through the courts or through negotiation with the Government. The repealed Act is called the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Bill. There is criticism about the haste of the bill and anxiety about continued easy access to beaches.

Description: Prime Minister John Key and Minister of Energy and Resources Gerry Brownlee sit on logs in a national park roasting frogs over a fire. The prime minister mumbles through his cigar that he has decided to 'pull the plug on giving Te Urewera National Park back to Tuhoe' and Gerry Brownlee is pleased because otherwise they 'might not be able to mine it'. Refers to the government decision, apparently a u-turn by John Key, that the ownership of the Urewera National Park, which Tuhoe had regarded as a fait accompli, will not be returned to them. The frogs being eaten by John Key and Gerry Brownlee are endangered Archie's frogs that would be threatened by mining. By proposing to mine National parks, this government is undermining their purpose - that they're protected. The cartoon is saying that if the crown no longer own them, they might not be able to exploit them, or a to be more exact, profit from exploiting them. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
