I would be careful as Mayor Brown - parliamentary supremacy means Labour actually has a lot of power to intervene, esp with a single party majority.

Lucky Aucklanders, if that were to happen, a barrel load of expensive to feed monkeys
could get sent down the road, as the load gets lightened, provided no even more stupid
schemes get piled back on the plate ;)
The Wellington resident halfwits probably also have a fairly well practiced habit of tossing more
half baked schemes into the lap of Local Govt as soon as they see a space & convenient opportunity :)

Help!’ - Mayor Wayne Brown’s ‘moaning’ first email to Auckland Council CEO covering beer, balance sheets and 400 jobs
Quote:
over a list of procedural inadequacies - including financial reports “with no numbers”, an inability to stock a beer fridge, and advertising 400 jobs when managerial cuts “are more than on the cards”.
Quote:
First up on Brown’s list of complaints is an alleged lack of detail and numbers in the council financial reports he’s received in his first 11 days in the top job.
Quote:
“Simple things like getting paper copies of recent council activities just don’t happen. So far I have received copies of only two meeting papers,” Brown writes.
Quote:
The new mayor references “an excruciating 110-page paper on BIDs that discussed things that are not even council’s business”.
Quote:
“No numbers at all in the whole meeting papers!” Brown writes, as well as: “Help! The financial briefing we got was very underwhelming. No P&L, no balance sheets.”
NZ needs more Wayne Brown's up and down the country to kick and drag our Local Bodies into shape from the tardy, Easy large revenue gathering, lazy, bureaucratic, inefficient holiday havens which many show grave signs of being, after decades and decades of bureaucratic rot ;)
Everyone is paying dearly for these slow-moving parasitic inefficient Local Govt empires, are they not ?
