Description: The title of the cartoon reads 'Richard Branson slams alliance rejection with Air New Zealand'. The words 'Virgin Blue' are in the centre of the frame. Richard Branson wearing a tshirt bearing the words 'Plane tiff' says 'You can't have the Trans-Tasman route losing its virginity'. Refers to the news the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission blocked a proposed alliance with Air NZ on the transtasman route. Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Group Chairman, told ABC he is baffled by ACCC's decision: "They have said in the past that Qantas and Air New Zealand can form an alliance if they so wished. And Qantas has alliances with British Airways; they have alliances with numerous airlines around the world. All we ask the competition authorities to do is to treat Virgin Blue, which is a much smaller airline, in an equal way and allow us to create a level playing field." Blue has already withdrawn from New Zealand domestic routes because of steep losses and Branson told Australia's ABC radio that flights from Australia to New Zealand under the Blue's Pacific Blue brand "were losing money." "We think if we can work together with Air New Zealand, we can offer a proper competitor to Qantas," Branson argued. "If we're a strong competitor, we can keep fares low and we can keep Qantas honest and we believe that's in the interest of the traveling public."

Description: A 'big apple' shines beside a map of New Zealand. The North Island opens its mouth thinking 'munch time!' A second version has the word 'Australian market' on the apple and the word 'exporters' on the South Island. A third version does not have the North Island thinking 'munch time!' Context; Australia imposed the restrictions in 1921 to protect local apple trees from fireblight, a pest that also affects pear trees and rose bushes. New Zealand has been pushing for access to the Australian market since 1986, and after "exhaustive efforts" took the dispute to the WTO. The Australian Government says it has no choice but to accept a World Trade Organisation (WTO) ruling that its 90-year-old restrictions on New Zealand apples are unscientific and break international rules.

Description: A Australian with a dunce's cap is pictured. He is not a cricket player, disgraced after the poor form shown by Australia in recent matches against India, but a debt collector for Novopay. The Australian firm, Talent2, who ran the Novopay teachers' payment system for the Ministry of Education, were not only responsible for its many failures, but also briefly attempted to retrieve money that Novopay had paid out wrongly by authorising debt collection agencies. This was a further disaster in public relations. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
