2023 local body elections
I just finished viewing two campaign videos from Genevieve Sage. One of these finished with Sage straight down the lens imploring for votes to end 10 years of power by the dastardly or something Labour Party. After the laughter died down we quickly decided Sage had already achieved this goal before and our opposition to her candidacy will remain the same.
At the 2023 local body elections Sage stood for Waitemata Local board under the C&R Banner and after gaining the 4th highest tally for C&R it was still enough to give them power in Waitemata for the first time and ending 8 years of power by Labour.
That was until Sage conspired with The Northey led City Vision bloc and gained the chairmanship of the Waitemata Board along with it's wage and Usurping victory from the democratically elected C&R Waitemata.
We ask any voter in this electorate If you can get up and say, I believe Genevieve Sage is a worthy candidate for Public Office and can be trusted to keep the interests of the electorate ahead of her own.
We didn't get the answers we wanted 2 years ago but funnily enough we knew there would come a time for an informed electorate to decide at the ballot box.
Before it starts, Me I'm a life long Unionist that pays his dues to the Labour Party in retirement. Others the opposite but they can speak for themselves.. This is not about politics it's about corrupting our system by accepting the corruption.
Shall we vote on it...
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
87% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
13% No. This would be impossible in practice.
