- Description
Cartoon shows a set of traffic lights with the Beehive in the background. Text states that the traffic lights around parliament have had a sex change and now show flashing women instead if men; it then suggests that the lights might better be left blank to represent all the hidden agendas. Prime Minister John Key and Wellington Mayor Kerry Prendergast have launched the "Capital City Initiative - Our Extraordinary Democracy" which aims to improve the area around Parliament in preparation for the city's 150th anniversary in 2015. The area will be rebranded Capital Centre. The idea of changing the little green man on the traffic lights around Parliament to a little green woman is a reference to votes for women.
