Jenny Brash – after 12 years, where next?
- Wellington Scoop
- She has also been an active (and vocal) supporter of the demolition of loan sharks in Porirua, telling a local newspaper “I hate them” and they are “an absolute exploitation”. Also during her time, she has helped start the clean-up the harbour, campaigned for Transmission Gully, and supported and initiated the harbour strategy. So where to from here?

Hutt City mayoral candidate Ray Wallace takes a “hands-on” approach
- Wellington Scoop
- It may not have got him over the line last time, but Lower Hutt mayoral candidate Ray Wallace hopes using the same approach will get his nose ahead in this year’s election. In what is a two-horse race between himself and Mayor David Ogden, Councilor Wallace has again adopted a “hands-on” approach to promote his visions for the city and to gauge public opinion.

Willis Street complete? Not, actually
- Wellington Scoop
- "Willis Street complete" is one of the headlines in the Wellington City Council’s effusive display advertisement in the DomPost today. But the headline isn’t accurate. Only part of the job has been completed. Though it’s true that “the paving is complete” on this part of the new bus route, the council doesn’t mention that another stage of the project is yet to begin – on Thursday, linesmen will start the complicated task of rearranging the network of overhead wires for trolley buses.
