A weasel is an honourable carnivore compared to the dirty rat that Auckland has.
Were Aucklanders given a referendum on whether the Super Spending City should come into existence? No.
Opinion canvassing, on how to fund transport projects, showed most wanted motorway tolls and/or congestion charging. Once again Central Government gave Aucklanders the two-fingered salute. So now we have a rates hike. No surprise and it puts paid to the myth that a Super City was going to save us money!
