On 26 March 2013, the New Zealand Black Caps drew with and almost beat the English cricket team in the third test at Eden Park, Auckland.

Description: Text reads 'McCully was adamant the govt take whatever steps were needed to deter rugby fans from crowding into Party Central.' The cartoon depicts the severed head of Minister for the Rugby World Cup, Murray McCully, stuck on a paling in an iron fence surrounding Party Central in Auckland. Context: The cartoon refers to the government's very public undermining of Auckland's ability to run the fan zone after the fiasco because of overcrowding and transport problems on the opening night of the Rugby World Cup on the 9th September. Mr McCully had been under strict orders to do "whatever it takes" to ensure the Rugby World Cup is an outstanding success. The Rugby World Cup Empowerment legislation was invoked so that the Government could take control and run the fan zone - an action regarded as 'quite an extraordinary and surreal move' by Fran O'Sullivan in the New Zealand Herald September 14 2011.

Description: The cartoon shows Mike Tindall, the husband of the Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips, wondering how a 'snog with a cute blond in a bar' can be all over YouTube within an hour. Next to him is a man reading a newspaper with a heading that reads 'Supreme Court rules evidence obtained from hidden camera illegal'. He comments 'Because snogging a cute blonde does not constitute a potential criminal or terrorist act, and you weren't being secretly filmed by the police...' Context: Mike Tindall, who is a member of the English rugby team in New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup, was secretly filmed fondling a blond in a bar and the film was put on YouTube. This caused a scandal which resulted in Zara Phillips coming to New Zealand sooner than she had expected to. The man reading the newspaper is referring to the row over the secret filming by the police of suspects during the Urewera raids in 2009. Urgent legislation to allow secret filming on private property by police was rushed through after 13 of the 17 accused from the Urewera raids had their cases thrown out because the secret filming surveillance used in evidence, was deemed illegal.
