Unfortunately Wayne Brown is not the man for an emergency - he is too used to working on his own away from the limelight.
Maybe his deputy could handle things for him while he plays tennis (away from the drongo journalists (as he called them)).

I tend to agree with him on the "drongo journalists" comment. I like it that he would say something like that. Kudos to him.
No need to play the media game, they are becoming more irrelevant by the day.
He was elected to be Mayor to go and fix up Goofs problems. Only been in the job a few months, gotta give him some time.

Unfortunately by not fronting to media, he isn't fronting the people either - he seems to treat all of them with equal disdain.
Wayne knows best and doesn't need anyone else (except in an emergency when he follows the advice (he says) to the letter and it is wrong).
Unfortunately, emergencies don't give people time and he doesn't seem to want to learn at all - just blames others.

But when he had a new problem he was unable to respond appropriately. He was unable to respond to what was happening Now. I think he is more concerned about trying to resurrect the past, the way things used to be in the good old days, when councillors made all the decisions rather than having consultants make more decisions now. The world has changed, it has become more complex and he needs to accept that reality. He needs to look at what is happening now and focus on the future not the past. The past has passed.

AUT journalism senior lecturer Dr Greg Treadwell said media were geared to meet community needs with information at times of crisis while also having a role as a watchdog which could be challenging for those leading a response.
“I think anybody who is going to lead us through a disaster needs to be able to relate to the media.”
University of Canterbury journalism senior lecturer Dr Tara Ross said the media’s role in a crisis was to communicate information to its communities but also to reflect those communities’ experiences back to those leading the response.
“It would appear Wayne Brown has forgotten that’s an important role for the media to advocate on behalf of their communities. It’s an important part of leadership to understand the role of the media.

A rational perspective on the media pile-on at Wayne Brown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3oXo7bILVU
Labourites and the media who were already grumpy with Brown were happy to stoke people's stress in a situation that was developing rapidly. I personally picked up on what seemed a pre-emptive strike from Blue Skies on this forum on Friday night. It started to feel like an orchestrated campaign to make political capital out of a situation that was still evolving. Ridiculous calls for Brown to resign etc.
Using a situation to feed on a city's stress is about as low as it gets. There will be plenty of time afterwards to review, but in the height of the crisis you contribute, not undermine.

Did anyone pick up on new Minister for Auckland Michael Woods comments about how imPortant Auckland is with a population of 1.7M and more imPortantly, how imPortant the Port is?
I perceive he chose his words deliberately, and in his view the Port is staying right where it is now.
