Wellington mayor Tory Whanau claims her council is the "government's punching bag" and has labelled the Prime Minister "not a nice person". Is there some truth to the government constantly beating up Wellington City Council, and was it right for the Mayor to go personal? Also, the Coroner has released her report into the death of Sandy Calkin, who died after falling into Wellington Harbour after a night drinking in July 2021. The report found the council had consistently ignored the risks of people

The latest Taxpayers Union Curia Poll shows Labour ahead of National and Chris Hipkins is now marginally more popular than Prime Minister Christopher Luxon. What does this poll result tell us, and will Labour's support hold? Also New Zealand First have introduced a members bill to take 'woke' diversity equity and inclusion practices out of the public service. Currently the public service has to “promote a diverse workforce”. Is this bill the answer to a serious issue, or is this just culture war

OPINION What is it with Prime Ministers from Auckland giving us a bad rap? First it was John Key telling us we were dying. He of course was right - he just got his decades wrong. Now we have Christopher Luxon calling us "lame-o". I haven’t heard that phrase since the 90s, but that aside, he's dead right. Why? Well last year the government announced it would be offering councils the opportunity to sign up to what they called 'regional deals'. These would be a 10 year plans based on a 30 year

Labour leader Chris Hipkins says he's grown supportive of the idea of Wellington's four city councils amalgamating into a super city, despite previously being against it. "I do think some consolidation in the Wellington region would be better for Wellington ratepayers," the Remutaka MP told Nick Mills. "But also, the lack of strategic oversight for the region is actually holding us back. If we don't sort that out soon we'll get left behind as a region." Hipkins also discussed the latest Taxpayers

A coroner's report says a man who drowned on Wellington's waterfront may not have, if the council's safety procedures had been better. Open Justice reports 30-year-old Sandy Calkin drowned in Wellington Harbour in 2021 after accidentally falling in after drinking on Courtney Place. Coroner Katherine Greig's report says Wellington City Council knew about identified safety risks at the waterfront but failed to act on them.

OPINION We were warned a report was coming out on Wellington Water. Not even people in the media or on our councils thought the report was going to be this scathing. There is a lot of shock around Wellington right now. And we’ve always suspected it, but now we know just how bad Wellington Water has been managing our pipes and our money. The entire report can be summed up in two lines. The first; we are being fleeced. The second; the management of Wellington Water has sat back and allowed it to

Has this made it easier to develop in Wellington, and what will it mean for house prices? Also, for the first time the Wellington City Council has responded to public concern over a cycleway project, voting to investigate reinstating carparks to Glenmore St near the Botanic Gardens.
