Description: On a beach covered in black oil and dying and dead oil-covered fish and birds, an oil-covered penguin sees lying nearby, a newspaper with a headline that reads 'Kiwis wear too much black says columnist.' The penguin says 'You can say that again!' Context: Dominion Post columnist Karl du Fresne laments the absence of colours in New Zealanders' dress sense and this has drawn a big response. The cartoon applies the comment to the environmental disaster that has followed the grounding of the container ship 'Rena' on the Astrolabe Reef off the coast of Tauranga. This happened on the 5th October during the Rugby World Cup. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

In the lower frame we see that the men are in a pub and are talking about the All Blacks, not the Rena. Context: The All Blacks have been suffering a series of injuries thus jeopardising their Rugby World Cup chances. And the 'Rena' is a foreign owned container ship that has run aground on Astrolabe Reef near Tauranga and is leaking oil.

Description: The title of the top frame is 'All Black mania' and the cartoon shows an exhausted and wounded Wallaby with exultant kiwis wearing All Black strips dancing all over him; text reads 'All Black victors.' The title of the lower frame is 'All Black news' and the cartoon shows oil-covered seabirds and a crab on an oil-covered beach; text reads 'All Black victims.' Context: The term 'all black' describes both the 'All Blacks' and the oily slick from the doomed ship 'Rena.' The cartoon refers to the juxtaposition of the Rugby World Cup which fully engages attention and the wreck of the 'Rena' on the Astrolabe Reef off the coast of Tauranga. On 5th October 2011 the container ship 'Rena' became stuck on the Astrolabe reef off the coast of Tauranga. It is spilling oil, threatening coastlines and killing seabirds. Authorities are racing to get the oil and the containers off the ship before it breaks up but the weather is frustrating efforts. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
