    Tory Whanau on what's next for Wellington after airport sales plan voted down

    Wellington City Council has voted to stop the controversial sale of its 34% share in the airport. The move has left a big question mark over the city's councils, with the long term plan now needing a re-think to plug a multi-million dollar hole left by the sale. On this week's episode, Georgina speaks with Mayor Tory Whanau, who supported the sale, about the move and what's next, and she addresses her plans to run for re-election.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Why the majority of local councils are backing Māori wards

    After a change in central government policy, councils have overwhelmingly voted to keep Māori wards, but we'll first have to ask the public what they think via a referendum. There's concern these polls will put more costs on councils that they simply can't afford. This week, Georgina talks to Newstalk ZB Wellington reporter Azaria Howell to discuss the political background to this law change and exactly how much these referendums are going to cost, and later talks with Far North District Mayor Moko Tepania about why his community supports having a Māori ward.

New Zealand is believed to have an infrastructure deficit in the billions, if not trillions - so how can we go about fixing it? BusinessDesk Infrastructure Editor Oliver Lewis joins Thomas this week to dig into the issue.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Central Government takes aim at council spending at LGNZ conference

    Council leaders from around the country have met in a convention centre that the Prime Minister thinks is an example of wasteful spending and is just down the road from a burst water main that has turned a street into a paddling pool. The Local Government New Zealand conference was held in Wellington this week at the city’s new $180 million convention centre Takina, and Georgina this week takes us through the highlights - most notably, Christopher Luxon's sharply worded speech about council spending.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
