Should Wayne Brown remain in office?

Paul from Ponsonby

Wayne Brown's absense at the helm during the Auckland weather event has put lives at risk and has been an unacceptable lack of leadership.

Let's be real, it hasn't been a great run up to this point, but this was a crucial moment for the city, and he let us down. The declaration of the state of emergency was later than the AT buses he loves to complain about.
Resigning has some perks, he'll get more time to play tennis, and I think there's a few Aucklanders who would like to show him their backhand game.

An Auckland family who had to swim to safety have lost all personal belongings in Friday’s flood and the heavy rain which followed on Tuesday – including their recently renovated home.

Catherine Beggs​, 65, and her family have survived three Auckland floods in 10 months – but the same can’t be said for her Mt Roskill home.

“The house flooded in March last year. Water came up underneath the house, and down the roof. I ended up having to buy a new roof,” Beggs said.
