I am struggling to engage on the pros and cons of this topic anyway
I noticed... :)
-
I suspect Paul is right - this could be what will pass for consultation from now on. A straight to the point (westie) response about that:
Waitakere’s Deputy Mayor, Penny Hulse, says the model is not seen anywhere else in the world. “And there is a reason for that - it’s not going to work. Local councils have been reduced to talk-shops. They don’t have any funding - they are not masters of their own destiny. They can listen to their communities but they can’t do anything.”
-
Before we go further, I should clarify that I work with several of the Councils concerned and am currently a part-time employee of one of them. Nothing I say here is on behalf of any of them.
-
You do realise that whatever they do here is coming your way next, Don?
-
And just why are you showing us all the bits that fall back into the sea when the next big quake hits? Am I missing a metaphor?
-
Given that my powers of persuasion to switch threads are so low, I will not be standing for the new uber-leader role myself.

Alex Swney and Richard Simpson
Nothing against them, but I don't think you're scaling up your expectations enough beyond the existing faces.
Anyway, I notice Russell has made us a shiny new thread for this very conversation (so it doesn't have a misleading name at the top of it) - let's go.
-
Too easy. Those poor victimised fellas representing the hard-working musos and artistes (not the gouging corporates who extort the fruits of their efforts, oh no). It's just so unfair that their flat-earthism isn't automatically respected.
-
The nearest job experience to an Executive Mayor would be an Executive
Chair, so look for heavy hitters from the business world. Think ex-rugby players, etc. -
Not sure why everyone is assuming that C&R will anoint Banks this time round?
