Today Auckland Council votes on the council budget for 2026/27, at the Budget & Performance Committee and then votes again at an extraordinary Governing Body meeting immediately after. Chair has said he's just waiting for a few more councillors who are "coming up the road" - we do have quorum.

I knew it would be bad but this is draconian - note it is for anyone 14 years and over and it will be a $2k fine for people with no money so instead they will go to prison. It thus becomes move on to prison. This is not a solution to homelessness. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/governmen...

Great to see AKL Council on the rational side of this. Private helipads in residential areas is absurd. But of course it never should have got to this. Long-standing councillors have been careless on this issue for decades. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Last local govt elections the 6th seat on the Puketāpapa local board was almost a 3 way tie. In the end there were 8 votes in it iirc. In 2024 Auckland Council voted 11 to 10 NOT to have booth voting this time (which increases turnout). Cr Fletcher’s vote was the difference. Every vote counts.

Quote from Simon Wilson’s Love This City column: “I have always supported booth voting. When I was an MP, I advocated fiercely for it.” Christine Fletcher, standing for re-election for C&R in the Albert-Eden-Puketāpapa ward, at a meeting in Balmoral. As reported recently, Fletcher voted in council against booth voting in June 2024. The result was 11-10 against. I asked her about this, and she told me, “I can’t remember,” then added that the wording of the motion may have been problematic. She called me later and confirmed she had voted against.
