Cameron Slater  Whaleoil Beef Hooked

I am fiscally conservative candidate who will work hard to keep rates down. I will fight for hard pressed ratepayers, who know better than council how to spend their own money, and do this sober.

I promise not to:

1.     Piss on any trees

2.     Sign paintings I have not painted

3.     Send drunken texts after 11pm

4.     Send drunken press releases after 11pm

5.     Hold important meetings in bars

6.     Vote to fund Brian Rudman’s theatre

7.     Put boozing with my mates on my council credit card

8.     Stop putting piggy noses on troughing politicians

9.     Punch ambulance officers

Council needs transparency. I will live blog from all council meetings, and stay sober for all meetings. My honesty will be without limits because ratepayers deserve politicians that tell the truth at all times.

2. The pro­vi­sions of the Local Elec­toral Act 2001 allow for a ter­ri­to­r­ial author­ity to hold a ref­er­en­dum on the issue of Maori seats. In line with my pol­icy on trans­parency I want to put the ques­tion to the cit­i­zens of Auck­land, rather than have it insti­tuted in a closed room by dik­tat from a small num­ber of politicians.”
   
   The Local Elec­toral Act 2001 pro­vides a mech­a­nism for specif­i­cally cre­at­ing reserved Maori seats. At any time, if five per cent of the eli­gi­ble vot­ing pop­u­la­tion in a local author­ity area sign a peti­tion call­ing for Maori seats – or if the coun­cil itself votes to intro­duce Maori seats – a poll on the issue must be held within a spec­i­fied time­frame under a well-defined process.
   
   That pro­vi­sion under the Act is suit­ably weaselly that a small group of just 13 peo­ple could force some­thing upon the cit­i­zens of Auckland.
3. To get rate pay­ers and tax pay­ers a proper return on invest­ment, and to ease con­ges­tion, the Wha­le­oil trans­port pol­icy is to allow all trucks onto motor­way bus lanes except dur­ing peak hours of 7am and 9.30am south bound, and 3.30am and 6.30pm north bound.
