Description: A kangaroo and a kiwi are sitting up in bed together under a blanket labelled CER, both puzzling over what to do. New Zealand prime minister Robert Muldoon peers through a keyhole at them and tells Australian prime minister Malcolm Fraser that 'I think they're getting the message'. Exhibition caption reads - Perhaps a marriage of convenience at the beginning, CER was to blossom into a long-standing, stable and mutually beneficial relationship. At the end of 1982, for New Zealand prime minister Muldoon particularly, CER was an economic lifeline at a time when the economy was performing badly and job-creating major new industries, promised during the 1981 election campaign, looked more and more unlikely. Exhibited in 'The Other Side of the Ditch' exhibition of cartoons on the New Zealand-Australian relationship curated by Ian F. Grant of the New Zealand Cartoon Archive and exhibited in the National Library Gallery from 28 November 2001 to 24 February 2002 to mark the centenary of Australian Federation.

Description: Shows a bookmaker sailing for New Zealand, laden with money, a horse at his side, waving to a disconsolate Australian man with empty pockets. The cartoon shows the way one section of the media saw New Zealand's racing raid on Australia early this century. Exhibition caption reads ...New Zealand was acquiring a reputation for the breeding of race horses and their fleetness of foot. At regular intervals, New Zealand horses have continued to win major Australian races - the Melbourne and Caulfield Cups and W. S. Cox Plate among others. The first New Zealand-bred Melbourne Cup winner was Martini Henri in 1883. Australian owners and trainers are routinely prominent buyers at New Zealand yearling sales.

Description: The cartoon shows two homeless people lying on a park bench, one represents Australia's economy and the other represents New Zealand's economy. Two newspapers, being used as blankets, inform us that the CER agreement has been signed. Refers to the CER and New Zealand and Australian economies being in similar condition to each other. Exhibition caption reads - Australia and New Zealand were about to sign a free trade agreement but how well would this work with both economies in the doldrums? Australia's inflation rate was at a five year high and the currency had never been lower against the US dollar; New Zealand's inflation rate soared to 17% before the imposition of a mid-1982 wages and price freeze.

Description: In the upper frame British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, as a lion, marches proudly out of the Commonwealth Conference of September 1962 'He came out like a lion...' In the lower frame he is shown as a lamb '... and went in like a lamb!' as he enters the door of the Common Market Conference in January 1963. Context - Macmillan had made an address on 20 September 1962 attempting to explain how he saw Britain's relationship with the Commonwealth and his desired relationship with the European Common Market. 'We here in Britain - certainly my colleagues and I - reject altogether the view that Britain today is faced with the choice between the Commonwealth and Europe. That's not so, and for a very simple reason. The Commonwealth and the European Common Market are quite different kinds of organisations. Both are developing in a very dramatic way but both are quite different and the membership of one can help and not hinder the membership of the other. Harold Macmillan was very keen that Britain should join the Common Market and the French veto (Jan. 29, 1963) of Great Britain's entry into the European Economic Community was a severe blow. Before Macmillan Britain had been wavering between the imperial tradition and economic realism. (ENA European Navigator) Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s).
