"This leadership is like grandma's boiled cabbage - every single day it gets worse. We need to have a change at the top - someone needs to stand up, and if they don't, I need to step up." Nominations open this Friday. Banks served as Mayor of Auckland, before the amalgamation into the super city, from 2001 to 2004 and again from 2007 to 2010.
He says the ideal candidate needs strong policies. "In the absence of someone that's prepared to stand up and deliver to the city accountability and financial responsibility, then I am considering it... We need to turn this city back to a place where the ratepayers and citizens have a say, not run by an arrogant council with a very colourless Mayor.
Banks has also served as a National Party MP, six years as Police Minister, and briefly led the ACT Party. If he runs, Banks will arguably be the strongest candidate from the right - the two frontrunners, Goff and John Tamihere, both former Labour Party MPs.

The bags themselves are a visual feast, but we've dug deeper and fallen down rabbit-holes to bring you the bigger picture of the life and times of these popular accessories. We guarantee that the De-tour stories start with bags, but who knows where we may end up?
De-tours are thirsty work and so they will conclude with a Devonshire tea at our 1929 cafe.

The video on social media shows the installation of the new airbridge to connect 277 Broadway with 309 Broadway above Mortimer Pass, between Gillies Ave and Broadway, explains the orientation of buildings and civic artist Peata Larkin's three panels on 309 Broadway referencing the past, including a cabbage tree. The skypool is a 36m by 6m skylight above the entertainment and leisure precinct at 309 Broadway, combining light and water features. A Scentre spokesperson said this was "a real investment in design. The scale and size of this skylight structure is unlike anything our team has delivered to date." Drew said seven green walls were being developed where 25,000 plants would feature and "all of that 80 to 90 per cent native." A Scentre spokesperson said the mixture of New Zealand and Australian native plants would include arthropodiums Matapouri Bay, metrosideros Tahiti, blechnums silver lady and lomandra tanika.
