South Waikato 2016 Election special 07 Days to go till close of polls

Council meeting tomorrow (Thursday 29th) here is some of the agenda http://www.southwaikato.govt.nz/our-council/agenda-and-minutes/Documents/Community%20and%20Assets%20PUBLIC%20Agenda%20-%2029%20September%202016.pdf


So calling all candidates. 

Do any of the Mayoral nominees want to do an interview "between two ferns" style.

Here is how Hillary Clinton interview went on 22 September 2016


I met with a another 80 year old today and asked about the election. He said he voted by post before he even realised that Jarrad Gallagher was running.


This tells me that waiting to polling day is a good idea as is attending council meeting from the public gallery.



I hope to see you there. I will aim to be there around 9 am for interviews.

I will being two ferns:-)!

Highlights from the minute

6. Reports
6.1 Mayoral Report

His Worship advised that he and the Chief Executive recently hosted a visit from Malcolm Alexander, the Chief Executive from LGNZ. Malcolm Alexander was shown various economic initiatives around the district. Mr Alexander commented that he was very impressed with the Road Rail Terminal and the Waiariki Training Institute and also commented that he liked the positive feeling in Tokoroa.

Productive on-going meetings have been held with Raukawa. These are primarily to do with the management and co-governance of Te Waihou.

His Worship met with Michael West a local policeman about recognising the amount of family violence and his desire to start co-ordinating a community response to family violence.
