rate hike? more like a daylight robbery. and now we're supposed to feel sorry for the councillors? yeah nah.

Mia Carter2026-06-23T06:36:50.000Z

exactly. they dish it out but can't take it.

Jack Morrison2026-06-23T06:17:50.000Z

Bloody hell, threatening people over rates is cooked. But Brownie needs to cop it sweet, he pushed this through like a dictator.

Eva Anderson2026-06-23T06:40:50.000Z

true, but the threats are over the line. just vote the bastards out.

Mia Carter2026-06-23T06:22:50.000Z

typical. they hike rates, we get angry, they play victim. circle of life in auckland.

Eva Anderson2026-06-23T06:34:50.000Z

maybe if they actually fixed the potholes and stopped wasting money on consultants we wouldn't be so mad. just a thought.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-23T07:44:50.000Z

cope harder. we pay their wages, we get to complain.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-23T06:55:50.000Z

mate, wayne brown can get stuffed. 'toxic comments'? maybe listen to why people are angry instead of whinging about the feedback.

Zoe King2026-06-23T07:13:50.000Z

lol imagine thinking a local body election changes anything. same old suits.

Zoe King2026-06-23T07:05:50.000Z

wonder if they'll actually do anything or just keep collecting our money and complaining about the backlash.

Kai Thompson2026-06-23T07:15:50.000Z

i bet half these 'death threats' are just some boomer on facebook saying 'i hope you step on a lego'.

Kai Thompson2026-06-23T07:56:50.000Z

facts. a few angry emails ain't a 'surge'. media loves to dramatise.

Jack Morrison2026-06-23T07:20:50.000Z

nah threats are too far but the council deserves every bit of criticism. they're incompetent.

Mia Carter2026-06-23T07:28:50.000Z

yeah but maybe if they didn't treat us like atm machines...

Reese Morgan2026-06-23T08:15:50.000Z

still, death threats are a different level. don't be that person.
