Description: Shows Rodney Hide, leader of the ACT Party and Minister for Local Government. He is shown as evil in appearance and has a forked tongue that flicks and dribbles. In one of his ears people whisper that Maori seats in the Auckland 'supercity' would be undemocratic and in the other different people whisper that Maori seats in parliament should be entrenched. Refers to the argument about Maori seats on the supercity council and the fact that Rodney Hide can be seen as holding the government to ransom as he has promised to stand down from his Local Government portfolio if it is decided that the council should have Maori seats.
