| 880085 | 2010-04-26 07:54:00 | Ah! But he says 1/3 of people live in AK so they should have more say. I thought that was allowed for in Electoral boundaries but maybe not. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 880086 | 2010-04-26 08:15:00 | I hate the term "Super city". Auckland is only 1.3 million people I find this term embarrassing for NZ. | Battleneter2 (9361) | ||
| 880087 | 2010-04-26 08:20:00 | Phil Goff says Auckland super city mayor should sit on Cabinet. WTF?!?! If you expect sense from a politician, may I offer you Cook Strait, freehold, for a bargain price? ;) However, if we are going to have any sitting on cabinet, Ruapehu seems suitable. |

| 880089 | 2010-04-26 08:22:00 | Yes but we do need one council, so that things can get done (roading and infrastructure, stadiums etc) and to save on duplicating of building codes etc. Yes there are many cities in the world bigger than New Zealand ! |

Instead of decentralizing like everywhere else, we seem to be going backwards, looks like they are promoting Auckland as some sort of city state with veto powers. Auckland is a small town, in terms of population. They don't deserve any special treatment. |

| 880091 | 2010-04-26 08:36:00 | All politicians turn into morons when they are in opposition and say things they wish they hadn't when they get back in.. Anyway, isn't the Minister for Auckland doing his/her job? |
