Description: The flax mill, Lower Parihaka Road, run by James, and later by George, Rutherford, father and brother of Ernest Rutherford (1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson). Shows workmen at a swamp's edge in front of the mill buildings, to the right, with a steamer at sea behind. The soaking ponds and mills are surrounded by flax, and two poles with processed flax are in the water. The mill comprises two low wooden buildings with a separate tank in front, in which a man is standing, possibly pounding flax in water. Another man stands by a tall structure in front of the left-hand building. On the verso is a chromolithograph signed E. Grivaz, titled 'Dont' touch', showing a servant girl in a kitchen, shaking her finger at a cat on a chair. Beyond the cat is a table with milk and cake or cheese. Eugene Grivaz (1852-1915) was a French genre painter, active from the 1880s. The young woman's clothing suggests a late nineteenth century scene. Ernest Rutherford, in his school holidays, helped to lay out the levels for the ponds, which were used for soaking flax. They stored water from the creek, which came in from the right of the drawing.

Description: The cartoon shows Prime Minister, John Key, in a cooking pot that represents 'Nats-Maori Party Coalition'. He looks hot and bothered - steam rises - and he says 'cookin'.!' Refers to the 'joke' made by PM John Key when speaking at a tourism event in Auckland; Mr Key made a joke about enjoying a dinner at a Ngati Porou marae on the East Coast this week. He said 'the good news is that I was having dinner with Ngati Porou as opposed to their neighbouring iwi, which is Tuhoe, in which case I would have been dinner, which wouldn't have been quite so attractive'. The joke has been labelled badly timed and insensitive by a Maori Party MP. It was specifically referring to Key's apparent about-turn by denying that Tuhoe wouldver be granted ownership of the Urewera National Park after Tuhoe believed that this was going to be the case. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
