Please don't let Newstalk ZB decide what's right , literally, for Wellington. Stop repeating their reckons. Wellington is largely young , progressive and inclusive. We love cycleways,infrastructure, public transport and road cones.

Hey Hilary, appreciate the feedback – but as part of the role I do have to read and engage with a range of media outlets. In this instance, ZB carried some quite interesting interviews and was the first to start the conversation around whether WCC needs intervention. I note your thoughts, however, and as an ex-Wellingtonian I am also really invested in the city's ongoing development :) – Stewart

This attack on Wellington City Council has two purposes - to divert from the utter incompetent crashing of the economy by this government, and the anti-democratic one of getting rid of political opposition (with some councillors very upset that they outvoted and want to throw all the toys out).

Note that the PM was unable to provide any technical or expert advice to support his reckons about to “rein in the fantasies” and ditch the “white elephants” when asked under the OIA for such advice. Not that minor points like no supporting facts stops him mouthing off.
