UnitedFuture leader Peter Dunne today welcomed the Wellington City Council’s review of the how the region is governed, but cautioned against it being “yet another process to delay the inevitable”.
UnitedFuture leader and Ohariu MP, Peter Dunne, says the establishment of an Auckland supercity makes it inevitable and necessary that Wellington would go down a similar path.
Addressing the Wellington Federation of Progressive Associations annual meeting this evening, Mr Dunne said years of regional infighting and a lack of cohesion meant Auckland had consistently failed to pull its weight.
Cabinet’s decision today to implement a streamlined version of the recommendations of the Royal Commission’s report into Auckland’s ‘supercity’ concept is a blueprint for Wellington, said UnitedFuture leader and Ohariu MP Peter Dunne.
