831828 2009-11-19 22:40:00 Do you reckon we need 146 politicians for the entire Auckland alone? I personally think it's too many. Imagine, if each politician were to be paid (by us) $80k each, we'd be paying well over $11mil a year!

I've always thought the Auckland Supercity is just a scheme for some people to be elected as politicians....after all that's where the easy money is!

831830 2009-11-20 00:36:00 So, Prodney's rationalization of Auckland's local governance is going to
cost more than the status quo? Typical, the man is a moron!!!:groan:

I beg to differ, that is probably the last job i would ever want, but i guess if it is what puts the sugar on your porridge.

831832 2009-11-20 01:09:00 Will they be like councillors in other places where they just a pittance to cover expenses getting to meetings? or is the 80k salary a goer? prefect (6291)
831833 2009-11-20 01:53:00 $80k salary is just my speculation, don't take it too seriously.

But won't be surprised if it's even more!

Qiuite right. This country needs to smarten up, and Vegemite is just the thing to do it.
Diverting to the topic momentarily, 146 of the lamentables gives enough for gross ignorance with two reserves.

831836 2009-11-20 05:45:00 Maybe they should be paid in Vegemite and not monies gary67 (56)
831837 2009-11-20 07:09:00 No way, it's far too good for them.
However, if we re-introduce cannibalism, the application of vegemite could make them into seasoned politicians.
