- Description
Prime Minister John Key stands in his garden wearing gumboots and a t-shirt. A gardener is putting mulch around plants that is made of unused 'anti-smacking' referendum papers. John Key observes that the gardener will be able to mulch the other bed too if they have the Super City referendum. Refers to the confusion, expense and pointlessness of the smacking referendum that the lobby group 'Family First' seems intent on holding and also the expense and pointlessness of holding a referendum over whether Auckland should become a 'supercity' when it seems clear that the decision has made.North Shore Mayor Andrew Williams says that the $9 million citizens' initiated referendum offers the government a golden opportunity to put the 'super city' back into the hands of residents and ratepayers and to give the reforms the public legitimacy they lack. The Minister for Local government Rodney Hide does not want a referendum.
