- Description
A two-frame cartoon. The three 'Jitterati' realise that October 2011 is the end of 'IT' (the period of public consultation over the Wellington 2040 Strategy and Central City Framework plan) and wonder if they missed anything important. In the next frame (behind closed doors?), John Key is announcing that he will only talk about his cat, the intermittent pink rabbit of Buist's cartoons appears to offer no real choice concerning an ugly motorway flyover by Basin Reserve (a literal ugly man flies overhead), Cr McKinnon complains that he has been silenced, a seagull squawks that he should be doing something about it...all the while a penguin crawls up the wall.
The Wellington City Council's strategy for Wellington - 'Toward 2040: Smart green Wellington' - had closed its period of public consultation, and in October 2011, the revised draft had come up for adoption. The Government proved to be no help, the contentious proposal of the motorway flyover by the Basin Reserve had remained, accusations of gagging were being levelled at Council members, and the ratepayer (penguin?) was being driven up the wall. Public consultation appears to have been unimportant.
