- Description
'Lennie the Lame Engine' (Mayor of Auckland, Len Brown) finds that the (Auckland City) rail loop is blocked by 'The Fat Controller' (Minister of Transport, Gerry Brownlee).
The efforts of the Auckland City Council to establish a full urban rail transport system, a project especially promoted by the Mayor, was blocked by the reluctance of the Ministry of Transport to commit to it. The cartoon refers to the characters in a popular series of children's books 'Thomas the Tank Engine', which features a 'Fat Controller' resembling the Minister of Transport.
