Opposition candidate John Morrison is shown trying to repel his way into the building. Below them, a group of voters look at their phones, listen to music, drink coffee, and generally seem oblivious to the election, making rumbling noises reminiscent of an earthquake. Wade-Brown says, "Just a little tremor!" and Morrison says, "That's what I'm afraid of". Refers to a significant earthquake in Wellington on 16 August 2013, and the 2013 local body election, which had only a 40.85% voter return.
