I did an interview alongside Rod Oram this morning for the All About Auckland show which airs on Monday evenings on Sky (although soon Freeview). The topic was City Finances in light of the Mayor handing down his presentation of the Draft 2015-2025 Long Term Plan and some realities the City needs to face in this discussion.
I have previously been on the All About Auckland Show talking transport and South Auckland (The Southern Initiative).
I will let you know when the interview is up.
A Happy Fathers Day to all the dad’s out there in New Zealand (and across the World) today. A special mention to Fathers who might no longer be with us as well.
A special mention to two of my long-time friends Cliff and Ben who like me became dad’s for the first time this year 😀
A few sleepless nights at first but it sorts itself out quickly enough and before long we wonder where did the time go.
And with the weather forecast to be an absolute cracker today in Auckland it will make for a great day to be out and about the City.
So a Happy Father’s Day to All – and we shall see you all tomorrow

With me settling into my role as full-time stay at home dad with our 14 week old daughter, Talking Blog posts will be a bit scatty as I settle in to the domestic dad role and establish new routines. I still have a few posts and series in the pipeline that will trickle out over the next month so there is definitely no shortage of material.
I will also be away from Friday until next Tuesday joining up with the rest of the wider family for a reunion in Tauranga. Blog posts will be limited however, if Auckland Transport does send through the rest of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act requests in the duration I will do my best to get them up when possible.
Also thanks for your messages of support and encouragement yesterday after I filed my Resigned from The Party post yesterday. Needless to say it is refreshing to step back from Central Politics while it is in the state it is in. However, my involvement for Local Politics remains.
So again my thanks to you all.
Sorry folks I had to abort my presentation to support of my submission to the Papakura Local Board Draft Plan today
Family duties prevented me heading out.
