Petition of Kenneth Mulholland: Appoint a Commission to replace the Wellington City Council
On behalf of so many Ratepayers and residents of our capital city we are inviting the Members of neighbourly to express their dissatisfaction with the governance of our Wellington City Council by signing Ken's petition.
Petition request: That the House of Representatives urge the Minister of Local Government to appoint a Commission to replace Wellington City Council.
Petition reason:
In my view, poor city planning has introduced new cycle lanes, removed hundreds of on-street car parks, and has adversely affected the free flow of transport and commerce with livelihoods destroyed. I believe the Council is both dysfunctional and incapable of properly managing the city finances and that ratepayers are now faced with unreasonable rate increases. Please sign this petition and let us all make change for a better Wellington.
Signatures are now being accepted - please follow the link below to sign:

Thank you.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
