- Description
Shows a ship named 'Auckland Supercity Process' sailing in the sea. Below the ship is a 'pirate' (Rodney Hide)in a dinghy that flies a skull and crossbones and a flag reading 'no Maori seats'; Rodney Hide waves his cutlass threateningly at the ship. Men in the ship realise the danger and the need to tell Captain Hide that they are being hijacked by extremists. Refers to the tensions that are simmering over whether there should be Maori seats in the Auckland 'super-city' council. Rodney Hide, Minister for Local Government, has threatened to resign if it is decided to have dedicated Maori seats on the supercity council. The Royal Commission which reported on Auckland's local government structure recommended reserved Maori seats but the Government scrapped that when it set out its plans for the city.
