Description: The cartoon shows Rodney Hide, the Minister for Local Government, saying that he can 'honestly say that plans privatising Auckland supercity infrastructure have been taken off the table'. On the table nearby is a guillotine with the words 'Public assets sale' painted on the blade. Refers to proposals to create seven council-controlled organisations (CCOs) to manage most of Auckland's services and government legislation being set up to deal with it. Green MP Sue Kedgley says that it should be left up to the newly-elected council to decide whether it wants to set up any CCOs, not the government. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
