Description: A 'big apple' shines beside a map of New Zealand. The North Island opens its mouth thinking 'munch time!' A second version has the word 'Australian market' on the apple and the word 'exporters' on the South Island. A third version does not have the North Island thinking 'munch time!' Context; Australia imposed the restrictions in 1921 to protect local apple trees from fireblight, a pest that also affects pear trees and rose bushes. New Zealand has been pushing for access to the Australian market since 1986, and after "exhaustive efforts" took the dispute to the WTO. The Australian Government says it has no choice but to accept a World Trade Organisation (WTO) ruling that its 90-year-old restrictions on New Zealand apples are unscientific and break international rules. (NZ Herald 1 December 2010) Three versions of this cartoon are available Quantity: 3 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The title is 'Fire Blight apples' an Australian man wearing a hat with corks walks an incredibly convoluted path beginning at a '1921' signpost and ending at a signpost reading 'The end of the road'. He says 'Jeez How unfair is that!' Context; The WTO determined that Australia's restrictions on New Zealand apples breached global trade rules. Under WTO rules any restrictions on trade must be based on a proper assessment of the risks using internationally recognised methods, as well as relevant scientific evidence. An interim report on NZ apples was issued in 2010. Australia was not happy with the result and appealed against the decision. On 29 November 2010 the World Trade Organisation issued its report on Australia's appeal and found in favour of New Zealand apples being allowed into Australia. New Zealand Trade Minister Tim Groser welcomed the decision as New Zealand growers estimate exports to Australia could be worth $US36 million a year.
