Description: A couple of wealthy 'fat cats' are beseiged by a crowd of poor people. They don't care about the gap between the rich and the poor so long as the 'useless slugs know where the line is'. Context: A Salvation Army report, called Divided We Stand, charts the widening gap between the top 10 per cent wealthiest residents and the poorest 10 per cent. The richest Kiwis now claim an income 10 times that of the poorest residents. This is considerably less than the huge margin seen in the worst countries Brazil, Russia, China and India where the wealthy earn 50 times more, but New Zealand won the dubious honour of the gap widening the fastest.

Description: The cartoon shows a deep ravine dividing the land where the poor live from that of the rich. A newspaper reads 'NZ rich-poor gap widens fastest in world'. A fat rich man rejects these statistics and says the gap is not big and it is being bridged. A flimsy wire bridge with planks reading 'wages', 'asset sales', 'jobs' and 'cost of living' spans the gap. Context: An OECD report says that the income gap between rich and poor has widened further in New Zealand - and in Sweden - than in any other developed countries in the past 25 years.
