Description: Cartoon shows Paula Bennett peering behind a billboard at a host of people screaming in pain under a clouded sky. Her adviser tells her 'Careful, Paula...it's never pretty behind the billboards.' Accompanying note from cartoonist states: 'Paula Bennett is wise to turn her attention onto family violence. Like our environment, our culture is not 100 per cent pure. Cartoon depicts Paula Bennett and a generic adviser.' On 13 August 2013 the Minister for Social Development, Paula Bennett announced legislation to protect children as part of the Children's Action Plan. The problem of family violence in New Zealand may require more effort than a policy facade. Like the '100% pure' slogan, the grim reality behind the billboard remained.

Description: Two young women, one of them pushing her baby in a buggy, stop at a newspaper stand to read an article headed 'More and more violence in girls these days'. The woman with the baby is astonished and says 'Violence? Sweet little girls?? I don't believe that - do you?' Her baby smiles sweetly and waves a rattle which she has just used as a weapon, hitting another baby on the head as a second buggy passes by. Context - Principals say violence carried out by girls - physical and emotional - has increased far more than that of boys in recent years. Girls' violence is rising in schools as the effects of cyber-bullying and reality television turn them into "Barbie Bitches", experts say. (Stuff - 24 May 2008) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
