Description: Two men stare at an octopus in a glass tank. I has settled itself on a box labelled 'Same old cr*p' while beside it is a second box labelled 'Vibrant world-class super city'. One of the men comments 'He's clever, but he's hardly psychic' suggesting that the octopus's choice of box doesn't require psychic forces as the future of Auckland City is plainly obvious. Refers to the controversial decision to merge several city councils in the Auckland area into one 'supercity'. The 'psychic' octopus refers to 'Paul' the German octopus which correctly predicted German performance in the Fifa Football World Cup in South Africa.
