David finally clocks the reference in the Political Commentary introduction and discusses how former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern may be called in front of the Royal Commission investigating New Zealand's Covid-19 pandemic to give evidence on the government's response, as well as the discourse in the political and media sphere.
This month, a number of council body reforms have come into effect in the Auckland Council, fulfilling Mayor Wayne Brown’s promise to address issues and implement community feedback into the council’s format.
The three new divisions in the Auckland Council to improve organisation include the Auckland Urban Development Office, the Property Department, and an Economic Development Office, each of which are intended to make decision making more effective and accessible to the public.
As well, with the persisting cold temperatures and rainy weather hitting Auckland this Winter, I wanted to discuss the topic of homelessness in Auckland’s city centre, and to what extent the council is working to support those rough sleeping in the CBD
