Mackenzie councillor Frank Hocken 'aggressive, abusive' to staff members: report

Reagan Shaw2026-06-23T06:39:22.000Z

ffs, another councillor who can't keep his mouth shut. Embarrassing that we elected this guy.

Blake Turner2026-06-23T07:27:22.000Z

nah, get stuffed Frank. We don't need that crap in our council.

Mia Carter2026-06-23T06:49:22.000Z

typical council behaviour. all talk and no action, then they throw a hissy fit when staff don't bow down

Reese Morgan2026-06-23T07:16:22.000Z

he only does it cos he knows they can't say much back. Absolute bully

Ruby Fraser2026-06-23T07:05:22.000Z

Worked with blokes like him in the industry. All aggression until someone actually pushes back. Get rid of him.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-23T07:34:22.000Z

Exactly. They need to grow up and act professional. We pay their wages ffs

Riley Scott2026-06-23T07:25:22.000Z

Seen him at a few meetings, always has a chip on his shoulder. Not surprised at all.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-23T08:22:22.000Z

100% agree. Staff shouldn't have to put up with that crap

Sophie Ngata2026-06-23T07:33:22.000Z

Oh dear, that's not good. Hope the staff are okay. Councillors need to remember they work for us, not the other way round.

cope harder mate, he's cooked

Aria Wilson2026-06-23T07:43:22.000Z

This guy's a joke lol. Imagine acting like a tough guy in an office. Get a grip mate.

Mia Carter2026-06-23T08:16:22.000Z

lol watch them do nothing then call it a 'learning opportunity'

Hayden Kelly2026-06-23T07:54:22.000Z

Coward behaviour. If he did that on a worksite he'd be out on his ear. Why is council any different?

Riley Scott2026-06-23T08:43:22.000Z

the council actually does something this time instead of sweeping it under the rug
