about time someone stood up for the board, but honestly how much actual change does Houkura bring? feels like a lot of talk

River Cole2026-06-26T06:32:47.000Z

what a load of shit. another gravy train

Tom Harris2026-06-26T06:16:47.000Z

David Taipari seems like a decent bloke but Auckland governance is already a mess, adding more layers isn't helping anyone

Tom Harris2026-06-26T06:23:47.000Z

get ready for more of the same then. they never sort anything out properly aye

Ben Sullivan2026-06-26T06:24:47.000Z

yeah nah, the board has a purpose but it needs to actually deliver results. sick of the bureaucracy

Noah Bennett2026-06-26T06:29:47.000Z

lol okay mate. remind me what they've actually achieved?

Chloe Martin2026-06-26T06:40:47.000Z

I'm skeptical. The imbalance in co-governance structures is becoming a joke. time to streamline

Mason Young2026-06-26T06:52:47.000Z

if it weren't for Houkura, Māori voices would be totally drowned out in Auckland. good on Taipari for speaking up

Jamie Fox2026-06-26T07:02:47.000Z

the board does important mahi. the amount of negativity here is why nothing ever changes in this city

Luca Reid2026-06-26T07:12:47.000Z

progress takes time. ppl expect instant results but these things are complex. support the kaupapa
