  1. Auckland's dopey mayor Wayne Brown has put his foot in it again. He reckons the new Dunedin hospital is "an example of wasteful spending" and suggests most Dunedinites would prefer a new Ford Ranger each and keeping the old hospital.

    Naturally the vehicle which came to his mind is Ford's WankerWagon. Brown's maths are appalling and his attitude stinks. The man is a complete and utter fool.

    Wayne Brown is moaning about 'cones' again! His latest Op-Ed in the SST over the weekend shows he still hasn't let it go. Here's a traffic management worker telling the reason for them...

  4. "Wayne Brown told Checkpoint on Wednesday if the National Party went ahead with its election pledge to end the [Regional Fuel Tax], the final stage of the $1.3 billion [Eastern Busway] project might not go ahead."

  6. “I’m not sure about this spending on Upper Harbour, wherever that is,” he said. He then started talking about the North Harbour Stadium and suggested it would be pulled down next year.
    Upper Harbour generally refers to Westgate, Hobsonville Point, Whenuapai and other suburbs to the west of the upper reaches of the Waitematā Harbour.. '

    Er, that's where I live, Wayne

  10. How sweet. Wayne Brown has brought a little friend to work. Wayne's friend has "security card access, ... an Auckland Council email address and access to computer systems".

    Brown's chum Chris Mathews is apparently "a part-time strategic advisor (sic) on a voluntary basis”.

    Isn't that sort of matey advice what pubs are made for?

  12. @JeffHowell @BobLefridge The remaining two+ years of Wayne Brown’s mayoralty are going to see the fool whining about his mandate but without the support or power to achieve anything at a time #Auckland so desperately needs strong and empathetic leadership. I don’t expect #WayneBrown to see out his term. #NZPol

  14. Auckland's missing in action mayor Wayne Brown claims "a number of people" incl elderly are trapped in apartment buildings because over 200 lifts aren't working.

    Neither Auckland Emergency Management nor Age Concern are aware of any trapped people.

    He also said "Knackered at the end of the day, I get home after working from 5am till midnight and have to climb 16 storeys, because my lift isn’t working."

    Wayne's projecting again. It's always about him.

  16. ⬆️ To @billbennett here's the answer to the question I posed to you earlier today. #WayneBrown cannot be removed by either a Council vote or a central govt ruling under "normal" circumstances.

  18. #WayneBrown needs to resign for #Auckland to move on!
    "There will be a new election for a vacant position if a vacancy occurs more than 12 months before the next triennial general election [4]. This is referred to as a by-election. Depending on timing, there is the option that the role remains vacant, or a person is appointed without an election." #NZPol

    @ArrestJK @ZippyGonzales Many of us knew exactly who he was before he was backed by National and Act to become a doorstop to progress. #WayneBrown was the guy who joked about putting pictures of Herald journalist and decent fellow, Simon Wilson, on Auckland's urinals so everyone could piss on him. #YeahNah #NZPol #AucklandMayor

  22. One rainy afternoon, after days of silence, Wayne Brown decided that he and Desley would be the sole approved voices of Auckland.

    Councillors disagree.

    Brown's lack of joined-up thinking combined with his persecution complex makes him a liability as mayor, even more so in an civil emergency.

  27. #waynebrown was never going to be up to the job.

    And do not forget that serial political adviser failure, Matthew Hooton, manufactured the Brown candidacy.

    Brown is clearly irritated by the requirements and demands of the job. He should do himself and - most importantly the residents of Tāmaki Makaurau - a favour and resign.

    And can we stop paying obeisance at the shrine of the businessman-politician. Its a complete myth largely perpetuated by rich aspirational wannabes.

  29. #NZTwits, never forget that it was the National and ACT Party's plus the wealthy property owners who supported the incompetent #AucklandMayor #WayneBrown to power on the promise he would reduce council spending on infrastructure and make rates cheaper. How's that working out?

    IMO Bernard sums things up pretty well in his substack ($$) on why #auckland needs a new mayor:

    "Wayne Brown’s performance over the weekend was almost uniformly panned as slow, insensitive, mis-informed and out-of-touch. The video of his Saturday media standoff is a study in how not to do leadership and communications in a crisis."

  32. Some people’s greed and/or racism led them to vote for the rich white old man - even though his previous track record in public office was littered with errors and poor delivery.

    This is what #auckland did when they elected #waynebrown.

    #efesocollins would’ve been on the frontline all weekend and would’ve shown real community leadership. You know it.

  34. What a surprise... not. Right winger raising rates after campaigning on lowering? No, can't be! I'm shocked! Said no one ever. Question is, will he sell the airport stake AND raise rates? Thats a double dip rip off. #WayneBrown #nzpol #nztwits #nz #politics #aotearoa newshub.co.nz/home/money/2022/

  35. First council meeting scrapped by #WayneBrown likely means he wasn't going to get his way. Reducing AT funding will see transport end up with corners cut, and work left incomplete. Conservatives really don't use any brainpower it seems. #nzpol #nz #nztwits #politics #aotearoa #mayor 1news.co.nz/2022/12/03/wayne-b
