ah yes, blame the council for everything while you lot sit on your hands in wellington. classic.

Sage Lawson2026-07-21T22:21:49.000Z

council rates have gone up heaps this year, but the government's not exactly helping either. both as bad as each other tbh

Ella Thompson2026-07-21T23:26:49.000Z

Sepuloni's got a point for once. Willis and her mates keep passing the buck instead of actually fixing anything.

Sage Lawson2026-07-21T23:13:49.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. Sepuloni was part of the last mob that did nothing. she's just grandstanding.

Grace Patel2026-07-22T00:19:49.000Z

fucking oath. both sides full of it.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-21T23:41:49.000Z

I don't get why everyone's so angry. Councils do a lot of good work with limited money. Government should help more, not criticise.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-22T00:34:49.000Z

fair point but councils waste a lot too. aucklands light rail ring a bell?

Zoe King2026-07-21T23:58:49.000Z

lol cool has 6 billion for a new ferry but can't give councils a break. priorities are cooked.

Tom Harris2026-07-22T00:51:49.000Z

this ^. theyll spend billions on a useless treaty bill but cut funding for basic services. joke.
