Two Johns

There really are two Johns, and Liberty Scott points out what one John can learn from the other -- i.e., what Key can learn from Banks.

John Key could do worse than emulate the Auckland City Council under John Banks and Citizens & Ratepayers. Together they are slashing spending ... with the intention of keeping rates under check.

Good advice. It's like battening down for the coming storm.

  1. reality check. banks has recognised the $350m liability for leaky homes is going to hit council spending. That might not be what the media reports. Banks has not attacked the bureaucrats, only services. so it is a double hit.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
