Description: President Obama carries in his hand a document headed 'Debt deal' and sweats as he confesses to his deputy Joe Biden that 'We've suffered a crisis of confidence the like of which won't be seen again unless the All Blacks lose to Australia!!' Context: The cartoon refers to the huge interest in the US debt crisis at the end of July that ended in a deadlock that needed to be broken in order to prevent default on Tuesday 1 August. President Obama at the last hour made a compromise that many believe was weighted heavily in favour of the Republican stance that meant no change to taxation but cuts in public spending. The Rugby World Cup begins in September and the All Blacks are considered favourites but what if they lose? What then? Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

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.

Description: The cartoon shows two seamen, one of them probably Prime Minister John Key, who stand on the deck of a container ship called 'Political Will'. One of them says 'We're just going to wait until the bad weather blows over'. Context: This is a reference to criticism of John Key's leadership during the crisis caused by the grounding of the container ship 'Rena' on the Astrolabe Reef off the coast of Tauranga. The ship was heavily laden with containers and was leaking oil. The cartoon suggests that there was a lack of 'political will' and the excuse was the 'world financial crisis'. This at the time that John Key wanted to concentrate on his election campaign - the elections to be held 26 November 2011. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
