Santa Claus who represents the 'CCC' (Christchurch City Council) carries an enormous sack that represents 'Marryatt's pay rise' on his back. The hopes of a Christchurch earthquake victim who is trying to deal with a crack in his lawn are dashed when Santa says 'Sorry nuthin' for you... theres's no room left in the sack!' Context: Tony Marryatt is the Christchurch City Council's chief executive who has recently been given a controversial $68,000 pay rise for his performance during a year (because of the earthquakes) in which he has 'never worked so hard in my life'.
