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).
