- Description
The words 'Gobbledegook Awards' appears across the top of the cartoon. A man stands at a lectern presenting awards and says 'The grand prize for the most convoluted logic of the year... ... Kiwirail!.. For not putting jobs Hillside's way because Hillside doesn't have enough work!!!' Below are three little men chatting; the first says 'P'raps the guvmint will help us if we change our name'; the second says 'Yeah! How 'bout Hillside Film Studio?' and the third says 'Or Hillside Stadium?' Context - KiwiRail will go ahead with its decision to cut up to 44 jobs at its Hillside Workshops in South Dunedin. Maritime Transport Union organiser John Kerr said the job cuts "flew in the face'' of a month-long consultation period with union delegates. The following quotation appears to be what the cartoon refers to... KiwiRail chief executive Jim Quinn said, "It is a fact that the size of the Hillside workforce has always changed according to the amount of work available and the workload there has decreased due to the completion of projects including carriage construction work for Auckland and Wellington."
