How to hold a city hostage, recount tactics, and a massive opportunity missed by the new Wellington City Council

By Ian Apperley on October 23, 2019 • ( 5 Comments )

No further movement this week in the paralysis that has been visited on the Wellington City Council by the former mayor and the six hostage-taking Councillors that have set themselves against the […]

WCC; A sour start, to recount or not recount, tunnels, airports, and Hanlon’s Razor in action

By Ian Apperley on October 21, 2019 • ( 4 Comments )

It’s not been a great start to this triennium with a sour taste left in the mouth of the city and the left-leaning idealists already throwing their toys out of the cot […]

Analysing the new Council; it is not as left as you think it is, avoiding three years of stasis, and THAT tunnel

By Ian Apperley on October 18, 2019 • ( 3 Comments )

A lot of commentators have suggested that there is a left majority on the newly formed council, of eight. I am not so sure; I see a situation where we may see […]

WCC Portfolios; ridiculous predictions on Deputy Mayor, disrupting the city, who gets what, a chaos model

By Ian Apperley on October 17, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

It’s hard to predict which Councillors are going to lead which portfolios, especially when we don’t know what the portfolios are going to be. We do know that there are too many […]

Time we hacked the WCC Portfolios; reduce, simplify, radicalise, and provide a mechanism for holding our Councillors and Mayor Accountable

By Ian Apperley on October 15, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

New Councillors will be shortly assigned portfolios. I understand that the model itself may be changed, it certainly needs a refresh because right now it’s barely manageable. I hear from multiple sources […]

Andy Foster’s 150 Day Plan; 60% may get carried out, unfortunately, hard issues are unlikely to be progressed

By Ian Apperley on October 15, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

A few days back Andy put out a 150-day plan should he be elected as mayor. Well, now he’s the mayor, so if we want to know what he’s going to do […]

A fresh Wellington City Council; winners, losers, surprises, and diversity

By Ian Apperley on October 13, 2019 • ( 1 Comment )

In what is probably the largest shakeup to Wellington city council in many years, we have a new mayor and several new Councillors creating a political pack that is significantly more diverse […]

By Ian Apperley on October 7, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

Media Release Ambitious first 150 days proposed by Andy Foster Note: For fairness sake, if other candidates want their first days plans published here then let me know at the usual place […]

WCC Election: Heading for a terrible voter turnout

By Ian Apperley on October 7, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

Barring a minor miracle, it looks like the voter turnout in Wellington is going to be the lowest in many, many years. Frankly, if we make a 35% return total, I would […]

WCC Elections: Current Councillor Scorecard; in which I judge people and make up numbers based on wild flights of fancy

By Ian Apperley on September 30, 2019 • ( 4 Comments )

I swore I wasn’t going to do one this time around; however I’ve been reading a few over the last week and given some of their wild scoring I am quite sure […]
