Evans, Malcolm Paul, 1945-:[Seabed and Foreshore debate] 25 March 2011
From: Evans, Malcolm Paul, 1945- :Digital cartoons
Reference: DCDL-0017397
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).
