- Description
A cartoon of a settlement consisting entirely of tents and labelled '"Tentleton"'. The tents and inhabitants, both in stages of disrepair, are in streets signposted as 'Squalor St', 'Destitute Drive' and 'Winz Way'. The 'attractions' of the settlement include 'No covenants. All pets. Own longdrop. No rates. solar heating'. The cartoon is captioned 'Another Christchurch sub-division'.
It was reported on 12 December 2013 that since the 2011 earthquake the number of people with dire needs on Housing New Zealand's waiting list had tripled, with 39 families in Christchurch more in need of housing than a woman who had moved her family into a tent in a public park. With the shortage of housing, a shanty and tent city seemed possible. 'Tentleton' is a play on the name for a real suburb, 'Templeton'.
Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
