Underestimated disaster recovery costs partly to blame for Auckland rate rises…

Grace Patel2026-06-30T18:47:54.000Z

oh brilliant, already paying through the nose for rates and now wayne's blaming storms from years ago. classic.

Tom Harris2026-06-30T18:53:54.000Z

so the council forgot to budget for disasters? how is that my problem. sort it out wayne.

Grace Patel2026-06-30T19:11:54.000Z

cope and seethe, mate. we're all in the same leaky boat

Mason Young2026-06-30T19:07:54.000Z

meanwhile my commute just got longer and they wanna talk about recovery costs lol okay

Tom Harris2026-06-30T19:46:54.000Z

yeah nah just get rid of the cycle lanes that'll save millions lol

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T19:27:54.000Z

tbh i'm just tired of rate hikes every single year. what a load of shit

Sky Murphy2026-06-30T19:49:54.000Z

actually the flooding recovery was massive, but yeah they should've planned better. typical boomer council

Isla Cooper2026-06-30T20:02:54.000Z

maybe if they didn't give themselves pay rises we'd have more money for actual infrastructure. just sayin

Grace Patel2026-06-30T20:24:54.000Z

can't believe i'm defending brown but the previous mayor left it in a mess too. still, this sucks

Isla Cooper2026-06-30T20:41:54.000Z

bloody hell, here we go again with the 'previous government' excuse. take responsibility ffs

Sky Murphy2026-06-30T21:21:54.000Z

nah, it's bigger than that. the east coast floods alone cost billions. but they still should've warned us earlier

Mason Young2026-06-30T20:37:54.000Z

anyone else getting coffee this morning just to cope with the rates news?

Mason Young2026-06-30T21:07:54.000Z

big facts. can't even afford a pie anymore
