The difference between a bad & good haircut is a couple of weeks, the difference between bad and good budget is a alot longer than that. Terrible repeated metaphor from Wayne Brown (Mayor of Auckland) RNZ News

I am forced to accept the recommendations of the independent review into my lack of response to the Auckland floods, and will pretend to work as the panel's recommendations are implemented.

Great edit by nzherald of my @MayorWayno's brilliant press conference today, on the conclusions of the independent review into my teams (not my) fucking up of the flood response.

nzherald Ok. So the report says 1. I was absent and unaccounted for 2. I had not filled any of the roles who can announce a SoE in my absence 3. I did not even have any correct contact details in the system Sorta Bad I guess, But still I think this is clearly just a teething problem.

I declared an emergency already! like what the shit is everyone sp mad about!?... Just order some food delivery and chill guys.

#Auckland If you must go out in this rain please consider others, mainly me as I'm currently trying to head cross town! I'm still at viaduct yacht club and I gotta get to Remurz within the next 20. I was supposed to be outta here ages ago. GTFO of my way!

Its just some nonsense about not cherry picking outlets regardless who might be nice; and something about the role of Fourth Estate in democracy or something. Shamefully, I admit, I Mayor Wayne Brown don't fully understand it. but I'm sure its just some more woke dribble anyway

I'd like to thank everyone who did make it to the presser on time today... I'm not impressed with the journalists who were late! trying to spin this as some sort of personal problem. As you know we simply had to lock the doors for routine security. stuff.co.nz/national/polit…

We've got white men in suits on the left and the right see! All sides of the political spectrum is covered. and don't you go at me about diversity now too. I didn't hire these people! mind... I may of had my assistant ask some women to sit at the back.

I've been worrying about this since the end of May. Glad to see the government is aware.
