- Description
The cartoon shows Len Brown, the Mayor of Auckland, as a rather decrepit Superman with a walking stick. Behind him are buildings and the Sky Tower of Auckland. Nearby is Minister for the Rugby World Cup, Murray McCully, as Robin; he holds a stone with 'special powers' and says 'Face it Super-city man... You're no match for my special powers!' Context: Relates to the fiasco after the opening night World Cup game on Friday 9th September, when it became clear that the size of the crowd had been severely underestimated. Minister McCully, invoking 'special powers' took over the control of Party Central in Auckland thus undermining the Auckland City Council and Mayor Len Brown in particular.
