Description: Text reads 'an All Black tide starts to sweep the nation... from the Bay of Plenty.' The cartoon shows an oil-covered penguin which thinks to itself 'Very slick.' 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).
