Auckland Council told to pay sacked leisure centre worker $15k

$15k? That's not even a slap on the wrist for a council that wastes millions on consultants. Sack the lot of them.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-07T04:37:46.000Z

Anyone know what actually happened? Contract issues or just the usual council incompetence?

NZ Herald2026-07-07T05:14:46.000Z

typical, always gotta bring in the consultants to tell them what they already know

Grace Patel2026-07-07T04:53:46.000Z

Bet the legal fees cost more than the payout. Classic council maths.

Grace Patel2026-07-07T05:50:46.000Z

lol $15k is pocket change to them, they'll just put rates up again

meanwhile the pools are falling apart and they're arguing over $15k priorities in this city are cooked

Isla Cooper2026-07-07T06:18:46.000Z

and charge us extra for less hours. make it make sense

Phoenix Reid2026-07-07T05:50:46.000Z

Sucks for the worker. Hope he gets another job quickly. Auckland Council needs to sort out its HR.

saw the pool was closed last week again... coincidence? nah

Leo McKenzie2026-07-07T06:49:46.000Z

mate they'll never fix the leaks. too busy patting themselves on the back

TVNZ2026-07-07T06:18:46.000Z

What about the ratepayers? We're footing the bill for this clown show. Maybe focus on fixing the leaks instead?

Quinn Murphy2026-07-07T06:43:46.000Z

ffs another rate hike incoming I can feel it
