    The Left wing councillors think the airport shares will always go up in value.

    The Left will never compromise with Mayor Brown, and remarkably they continue to make out that he is proposing to sell all the shares - when his revised proposal includes retaining a 10% shareholding.

    Two idiot councillors want the council to become an investment company.

    Because it now looks like Mayor Brown has the numbers to pass a budget with a 7% sell down of Auckland airport shares, far Left protestors suddenly fired up and caused huge disruption to the meeting with vile yelling and outrageous behaviour. This is a travesty to democracy. While other people are at work, these people show up and try to pressure councillors to change their decision. The meeting has been totally disrupted & is now adjourned.

    Mayor Brown eventually passed a compromise budget. I watched pretty much every minute of the council meeting over the past two days, and I'm glad I did. If you took a view of Mayor Brown from our Left wing media then you'd form an impression of him as a ranting bully. But from watching the meeting I could see that for the most part Mayor Brown sat quietly while the Left bloc lost its composure by degrees, until the point where Mike Lee started ranting and raving towards the end - mirroring the behaviour of disruptive Left wing spectators who turned the meeting into a circus when they realised Mayor Brown's revised (re-revised) budget would be passed. The hardcore Leftist councillors had no intention of compromising, and this became obvious when they started subjecting their colleagues to a haranguing when they couldn't get their way.

    There is a lot of self-spit in the eyes of the leftist parasites, beneficiaries and losers bred by Labour & Ardern.

    Transport Minister Michael Wood’s wife Julie Fairey has a separate interest in Auckland Airport


    Transport Minister Michael Wood isn’t the only family member with an interest in Auckland Airport - his wife Julie Fairey is involved in the proposed sale of Auckland Council’s airport shares.

    Fairey is a first-term councillor on Auckland Council and former chair of the Puketāpapa Local Board, who has stood for office under the City Vision ticket.

    City Vision is a left-wing ticket of Labour, Green and community independents, which believes in public control and ownership of strategic assets and campaigned against Mayor Wayne Brown’s plans to off-load the shares during the public consultation on this year’s budget.

    Poor Vision or 'Too Hard' to sell & donate the proceeds ?

    There was always going to be compromise. Going into this meeting, I wonder if Mayor Brown would have been satisfied with this outcome ? I suspect so.

    Rates will rise long term because of this decision.. another sad result of the three year election cycle.

    The size of the dent might be saving dough for most on what they otherwise may be getting hit for


    but as per usual Labour Govt philosophy all over gets rolled out by usual suspects ... P!ss it up against the wall like there is no tomorrow, then look for next nearest target to rob to do more of the same ..

    Nosey Parker might be looking in your wallet soon - Panda to generate some more Govt Ca$h

    Your 7% or so Rates rise to go out might turn into a multiple of that if Labour do some fine surgery on your finances .. and they will be tone deaf to your yells and screams too
