Anyone want to take part in a Hikoi against the Supercity?

Hitcher, perhaps you can assist them with preparing future statements:

The statement issued on behalf of the hui says the hikoi is so "Aucklander’s from all persuasions can join us to say out loud that this proposal is flawed and will become flawed law if passed".

(my bolding)

This has nothing to do with not getting race based seats on the new council. Nosiree Bob. Nothing at all to do with that.

"Gathering support from all disaffected Aucklanders"

why would someone who is disaffected (not affected) want to support them???

Hmm, didn't see that one.

At a guess, cos no-one has their panties in a bunch about this apart from them. Oh, and the mayors who are all out of a job.

Hang on. Hitcher will be along in due course. Just listen for a far-off "Gah, thud" type noise.

Well that's what too expect when you sign up with the Nats.

Have you seen the Tui billboard recently??

Oh bro, we might have to contest for a seat based on the content of our characters rather then the colour of our skin.

So unfair aye...


Stupid cunts

Notify any KFC, Macca's outlets along the way.
They'll need military type planning for that day.

[Indiana_Jones]

Ok you can have say 3 seats just for Maori, but for the say other 17 seats you're not allowed to contest them.

Hikoi? Can't we just go for a fucking walk instead?

[Mikkel]

What is a Hikoi anyway?

Nail head hit. Professional whingers and bludgers (PWABs) want some media time...FFS last time around the brown fellas of South Auckland decided Aortic((c) Whaleoil) Len was a better option than high-profile PWAB and talkback host Willie Jackson...

This is not about "Maori" representation - after all they have the same number of votes as the rest of us - this is about guaranteeing a place at the table for the PWAB's

Effective leadership's a bitch innit?

Saw it this morning, Swhoop.

For those who don't live in the Mecca of Waitakere (it could be somewhere else too. I don't know, and, frankly, I don't care. If you don't live in Waitakere, you're dead to me. Until the Supercity, at which point, you are all, as they say, my brothers from other mothers. Do you remember what I was saying before I opened these brackets?? Hang on. Oh right.), the new Tui billboard on the Northwestern Carpark is:

"It's a bird.
It's a plane.
No, it's a Super Mayor"

What will be interesting is if say 2000 people go to this thing, then by definition, the balance of the 1.4 million people who wil be affected by this don't care enough to make a protest about it. Can we get Paul Henry to comment on that point on Breakfast the next morning?

EDIT: Actually, it's probably because everyone else has a job to go to of a Monday morning.

Nice one MDU and so very true.

One of the walkies these unemployed losers did was over the Harbour bridge. I was concerned they would be walking past my house so I rang the cops to see if I should pay for a security guard for the day to protect my belongings. The guy was almost in tears laughing but I was serious.
