Yep yep yep, people had enough of the systemic extortion to feed the delusions of grandeur at the cuntsil.
The mini-kings and mini-queens in their pathetic new castle, spending half-a-million $$$ on coffee machines (yes you read that right!), kill the lifeblood of any city, and that is the traffic. Read up on Agenda 2030.
Maybe voters need to pay attention what scoundrels they elect next.
Your right about that mate a pity Tauranga residents don’t wake up.
Same happening down at the marina.
Poor parking machines. At least the attackers don’t use super glue.
