'Abysmal' early voter turnout raises questions around approach to local elections

Yesterday (28-Sep 2022) RNZ published this article, which includes a few quotes from our outgoing mayor Sheryl Mai.
While I have now taken my ballot to the local WDC service centre, I almost didn't vote, either. The same old, stale, postal, minimalistic voting system, combined with less options, choices, votes and reliable information than ever, and a range of mostly uninspiring candidates, all of whom are opposing Three Waters (instead of jumping at the opportunity to offload an "unsexy" utility service, cash in on a job well done and invest in the future of our district), really put me off.
I'm worried that we will lose another three, maybe even six years due to pointless debate, council inaction and community apathy, and I'm wondering if we wouldn't be better off installing commissioners and getting done what we all know needs doing.

We might not need a new airport after all

Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

I sincerely hope that our next council is a forward-looking one that finally grasps some of the many opportunities that the transition to a circular, sustainable, low-carbon economy offers.
