- Description
Minister of Transport, Stephen Joyce, leans out of the window of a car that is being driven by Minister for the Rugby World Cup across the 'buck-passing lane' that has been built above the 'Veolia RWC Express'. The train is crammed and quite overloaded with people trying to get to a rugby match. Stephen Joyce says 'Don't worry we can fix this with more money for roads'. Context: The transport and overcrowding problems during the Rugby World Cup opening in Auckland caused some considerable embarrassment. Around 2000 fans missed the opening ceremony or whole match between Tonga and New Zealand at Eden Park, after trains came to a standstill on parts of the network and ferries were cancelled into the city because of large crowds blocking the terminal at Queen's Wharf. The cartoon suggests that the government thinks it will be able to buy people's good will by building more roads.
