Description

Shows two dogs chatting as one of them reads a newspaper which has a headline that reads 'Iwi denied super city seats'. The other dog has a large bandage around its neck which the dog says was put there by humans because his voice was loud, disruptive and upset the neighbours. The first dog comments that he thought they only did that to Maori. Refers to the argument about whether there should be Maori seats on the new Auckland supercity council. The Maori Party (Pita Sharples) wants them, Rodney Hide, leader of ACT has threatened to resign if they get them and the government has to take a compromise position between its two coalition partners.
