Description: A man is almost knocked off his feet by the air rush as a huge wrecking ball swings over his head; in the lower panel he is seen to be representing 'NZ' (New Zealand) as he continues walking his dog and sighing with relief saying 'Thank goodness that's over!' He is unaware that behind him the ball which represents the 'Seabed and Foreshore debate' will be returning to endanger him again. Context - The controversial Marine and Coastal Area Bill (Takutai Moana) which was passed on 24 March 2011, repeals the Foreshore and Seabed Act of 2004 and restores the right to seek recognition of customary marine title in the common marine and coastal area through the courts. It sets out tests for proving customary marine title and also sets out the rights customary marine title holders may exercise, such as guardianship and development rights. The rights do not affect public access. Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei said "This is a very unjust outcome. It's the same outcome from 2004. The Maori Party have betrayed Maori voters and those who supported them in 2004". Colour and black and white versions of this cartoon are available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

Description: A grandfather reads a bedtime story called the 'Foreshore and Seabed saga' to his small grandson. He reads 'Then the government rushed it through and everyone lived happily ever after!' In the background his grandmother comments to her daughter that she was the same at that age, loving nothing better than a good fairy story. Context; on the 18th of November 2004, the New Zealand Parliament passed a law which deems the title (of the Foreshore and seabed) to be held by the Crown. The Foreshore and Seabed Act was enacted on the 24th of November 2004 and has been the source of controversy ever since; the debate was sparked when, on the 19th of June 2003, New Zealand's Court of Appeal ruled, in the Ngati Apa decision, that Maori were entitled to seek "customary title" over areas of New Zealand's foreshore and seabed in the Maori Land Court. Some sections of the Act came into force on January the 17th 2005. On 14 June 2010, Prime Minister John Key announced that he would be proposing the repeal of the Act. The Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Bill proposed in late 2010 has in turn created opposition from both sides, with some Maori arguing that the bill was a fraud as essentially no Maori groups would meet the test for increased rights to the foreshore, while others, such as the Coastal Coalition, feel that the bill risks free access to coastal areas for a large part of New Zealanders.
