OPINION Tory Whanau has said no. She's said no to standing for Wellington mayor for the three terms she always said she’d run for. She's out; she's thrown in the towel.

I wanted to know if Wellington as a city really believes in the green idealisms she promotes. This election was going to tell me whether it was a flash in the pan or
