Bullshit, says the mayor to her councilors
- Wellington Scoop
- It didn’t seem to be a good day for Wellington Mayor Prendergast at Wednesday’s meeting of her council’s strategy and policy committee. After an amendment to the city-wide alcohol ban was proposed by Cr Wain – to limit its extension to two suburbs where there was public support for it – the mayor instructed the councilors that, by living in the city voted 12th in the world in quality of life, they should “have the guts” to vote for the city-wide ban which she favoured.

No water privatisation in wellington -yeah right!
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- On Thursday, 17 June 2010, the Wellington City Council Strategy and Policy Committee met to finalise Council's submission on the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill. Radio New Zealand's response this morning was misleading to say the least in that it stated that Wellington City Council had backed down on water privatisation through public pressure. It was one of the more misleading news items that I have ever heard. Council was not changing its policy but was making a weasel worded submission on the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill.

Who’ll be voting for more annual increases in our rates?
- Wellington Scoop
- Soon after the government announced its tax cuts, the Wellington City Council moved in the opposite direction and announced its annual increase in rates. Last week’s announcement tells us that the rates for Wellington home owners are going up by an average of 5.75 per cent. The increase is even higher than than the figure which the council announced a month ago – when it said that 5.5 per cent was to be the increase for home owners.
