As Wellington City Council's six-month Housing Action Plan report came to the table at its strategy and policy committee meeting on Wednesday, the draft spatial plan, social housing and affordability became hot topics.
Councillor Tamatha Paul warned her colleagues that a change in attitude was needed if the city is to prosper.
"If we want to keep [Wellington] grey and dull and boring, and if we want to keep going the way we're going with the debate we’re having then it’s quickly going to be the city no one wants to live in, especially not young people.
We don't fix housing affordability by having no supply – that doesn’t make any sense to me and to me, it's making the problem of social housing worse because we’re pricing people out."
Fire and Emergency are attending an incident at the Soho Apartments on Taranaki Street.
Traffic will be quite congested so we suggest avoiding the area if possible.

Do you think Tamantha Paul would make a good mayor? Does she have enough experience?
The 23-year-old said she is considering challenging incumbent Andy Foster, who has endured a torrid first term so far and is reportedly already planning for the 2022 election.

The 23-year-old said she is considering challenging incumbent Andy Foster, who has endured a torrid first term so far and is reportedly already planning for the 2022 election.
Her motivation for standing comes from a desire to be more involved in council decision making.
“I’m a little bit frustrated about how much power and resources we have in doing substantial stuff,” Paul said.
“There are more ambitious and aspirational things I wanted to be able to do on the council.”

In September 1974, Bill Sutch was arrested and charged under the Official Secrets Act 1951, after a series of clandestine meetings with KGB agent Dimitri Rasgovorov, an official at the Soviet Union's embassy, in Wellington.
He was subsequently acquitted but documents later found in the KGB archive suggested he was a Soviet agent.
His son-in-law, Keith Ovenden, has now written a book, Bill & Shirley: A Memoir, looking at the life of Sutch and his wife Shirley Smith. Smith was a prominent lawyer and the first woman in New Zealand to be a full member of a university law faculty.

It has been held on the fourth Monday of every October since 1910. National Leader Judith Collins, however, has suggested that if we want Matarki as a public holiday, we should get rid of an existing holiday like Labour Day.
That is something the Labour Party is unlikely to agree with but what do you think?
