Estate agents sacked for racist posts stand for Whau local board

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, a husband and wife who were cut from a real estate company they worked for over racist social media comments are standing in the local body elections.

Paul and Kathryn Davie were real estate agents for Ray White in Auckland’s Blockhouse Bay but had their contracts terminated after making derogatory posts on Facebook about Muslims and Africans in 2019.

The couple are candidates for the Whau Local Board, which covers New Lynn, Green Bay, Kelston, Rosebank, Avondale, New Windsor and Blockhouse Bay.

Paul Davie has a political background and ran unsuccessfully for the Conservative Party in the 2017 General Election. He stood in the New Lynn electorate.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
