The winner of the Tirau Hall Mayoral debates, with 35 days to go to Polls, is Tracey Deane.
Congradulations Tracey Deane.
Mayoral debates in Tirau Hall require at least two Mayoral Candidates to stay in the race and provide STV ranked list of the 28 Ward candidates as preferred Deputy Mayor.
Jarrad Gallagher (pictured below) withdrew late last night. Broke email silence after a question about the airfield was posed to both Tracy Deane and Jarrad Jarrad Gallagher. More on that later.
The third and final Mayoral candidate pulling out last night from the Tirau Mayoral Debate. Still with 35 days to go to polls close. Jarrad Gallagher (below) is out and his reasons are printed here by quoting his email replay. In his own words.
Winner is Tracey Deane.
However the purpose of the debate is to find out who of the 28 ward Candiates will be Deputy Mayor material. To have the candidates demonstrate knowledge of STV voting. To explain Single Transferable Voting to the community. To demonstrate it in action. Ranking candidates is never easy but for Tirau Hall Debate it goes like this...
1. Tracey Deane
2. Jarrad Gallagher
3. Jenny Shattock
4. Alan Blair
Alan, Jenny and now Jarrad have adopted a wait out and see approach.
Not at all good approached, with social media driving the debate preparation, to wait out and see. The dilemmas that faces the district are many and the public want to see who will be proactive.
If you have children at home asking mum and dad for assistance in getting started. Status Quo is not good as the Governemnt is finding out with structural problems in the housing market.
Adopting a Wait and see approach does not grasp the opportunities open to all of South Waikato.
How to attract 6,000 18-35 year olds with skills and job creation abilities to our district. A wait out and see approach does not give 18-65 year olds in the district hope of owning a free hold section to build a future upon.
Where else on the planet can locals go to start that dream! Auckland?
No stay right here and elect a Mayor that is in to "work for you".
A wait out and see is just more of the same you have been experiencing.
Also Jarrad did not ask the 28 ward candidates for help before opting out. Too Shy perhaps to email. Or afraid after the race would hurt his prospects to do business of building houses if seen to be uppity? Falling in behind the other three need the 28 ward Councillors to pick them up and dust them off and reschool mayoral candidates prone to inaction to continue the race.
Get along to go along in the district would need council aquiesence.
So is Jarrad putting his toe in the water for Mayalty to help with his business interests of building house and just to get publicity for $200 down? Let's give all three the benefit of the doubt. Stepping up to Mayor is a small step for human kind but one giant leap too far for many.
First mayoral candidate to balk was Alan Blair by stating he would not open his emails on the Mayoral Debates.
OutThen it was Jenny Shattock out next in the Mayoral debates citing unable to STV the ward candidates before the debates or before the election. No questions were ask of me on the process of the debates or on how to help. Non-engagement the same as Jarrad and Alan, just out.
OutSo with three Mayoral candidates opting out of the Mayoral debates in Tirau hall the winner of the process is Tracey Deane.
WinWhat was the question the spooked Jarrad? Airport video question. And what did Tracey say to that very same question. See the video down below. Click to play the blue writing.
Jarrad Gallagher's email reply from the official email address supplied by the Returning Officer of the election
"Kia Ora Rod Young.
Your interest and energy in South Waikato are identified in your emails.
Thank you for bringing to my attention issues that you have identified. When I am able I do read your emails.
To answer your previous request, I am not in a position to rank candidates for councillors and will not be available for debate.
After the elections, if I am elected as Mayor or not, I would like to meet with your organisation ‘Community Youth Development’. Can you give me more information about the organisation.
Regards,"
Here was what was sent to Tracey and Jarrad at the time that two remaining Mayoral candidates were in the Tirau Mayoral Hall debate. Tracey won be default as Alan, Jenny and Now Jarrad declined.
The airfield question is now to 28 Ward Candidates and you can comment on the video from your YouTube accounts to answer this question as deputy mayor standing in as Mayor.
Tirau Mayoral debate. So who is out now. Alan, Jenny and Jarrad.
Yes Jarrad Gallagher and Tracey Deane were asked the AirField question by the fifth Mayoral candidate (feature of the video and who decided to wait out the Mayoral racing for a year or so to develop his residuals online businesses.) Jarrad folded his hand for the Tirau debates but if explained and shown STV perhaps may come along and help a ward candidate get elected with the same vision.
Jenny and Alan, who were part of the airfield decisions making process over the past 6 years, sitting around the table, and we see where we are today, can well answer any questions and they have governance experience. Bylaws on drone flying are scheduled for updating by council in the new year and is first items of business for the new council.
A new Mayor would need an judiciously find a solution to develop business in South Waikato and electronics is one of the big futures. Ever since Nicolai Tesla harnessed alternating current electrical generation have we develop in the electronics industry and computing. The question is asked by a world leader who lives in South Waikato on Drone development.
But Jarrad being in the opting out is actually being out of developing solutions to encouraging voting. And the other two are out also thus taking participation to a new low Jenny and Alan.
What promotes Tracey Deane to be keen on developing a STV list of deputy Mayor candidates? Capacity perhaps from these results.
So now comes the pivot.
It is now the 28 Ward Candidates turn to be profiled in the context of the Tirau Deputy Mayoral debate for Deputy Mayor.
We see the need for a good Deputy Mayor and a need to show case off the Mayoral candidates.
So like the Speaker in Parliament, the Speaker of the house who is reluctantly and must be taken to the speakers chair in Parliament by tradition it is now the 28 ward Candiates who must arise and usher in the Mayoral candidates for the Deputy Mayor debates!
Action for the community to see the Deputy Mayoral candidates for the Tirau Hall Mayoral debates to showcase for Deputy Mayor.
First question to the 28 Ward Candiates "Will you emailed the four mayoral candidates and tell them what you think over the handling of the Tirau mayoral debates so far".
