Text reads 'Collateral damage'. A couple stand looking at a broken column surrounded by fallen masonry; text on the column reads 'Curbs on govt spending'. The man says 'It's a shame. It was due to be unveiled in a few weeks'. Context - the Christchurch earthquake of 22 February 2011; curbs on government spending can be seen as 'collateral damage'. In December 2010 Finance Minister Bill English pledged to keep a cap on spending to rein in a widening deficit as slower consumer demand hinders the economic recovery and hurts tax receipts. The earthquake will make economic recovery even more difficult. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

A view across London Street in Lyttelton to The Volcano Cafe, The Lava Bar, and Coastal Living Design Store. Masonry from the buildings has collapsed onto the footpath, and the site has been cordoned off with wire fencing. The buildings' yellow recycling bins are still waiting on the curb for collection.
