This political circus freak show lurches from bizarre to insane with an ‘Ecoterrorist‘ egging the New Conservative Party co-leader Ted Johnston at an Auckland University debate.
Hilariously the Ecoterrorist admits the egging was originally for Leo Molloy, but on just seeing that morally sanctimonious religious fuckwit stand and deliver, they just had to throw the eggs at him instead.
There’s a political poetry in that, and who can blame the Ecoterrorist? Anytime any of us hear Ted speak we want to egg him as well. A perfectly normal human response to hearing mangled right wing Christian dogma masquerading as democratic interaction.
The most embarrassing insight to the website prank pulled on Efeso by a Young Nat is that the site has been up for 6 months and Efeso’s team are only just finding out about this now?
1 – How the fuck did they miss it for 6 months?
2 – Politics 101, get all the websites before you announce!
This much vaunted Labour Party & Green Party ‘AUCKLAND MACHINE’ is looking pretty fucking flimsy right about now.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand bloody times, if Efeso loses, there needs to be an enormous amount of scrutiny on what actual Machine was there for his campaign?
Finally, this bullshit poll by Wayne Brown is so desperate, how on earth can his Political Consultants send him invoices?
A Poll of ‘likely’ voters? You mean old rich white people?
Yes, that’s exactly what they mean, they set the Poll up to take into concerns the narrowest field of voters that Wayne Brown appeals to, over 50 year old rich guys.
That’s the best his political advisers could come up with? A poll so rigged it makes Putin look loved?
Don’t pay the invoice Wayne!
So what did this rigged poll that benefits Wayne the most say? He’s 12%? Even in his own rigged poll he can’t beat Leo Molloy?
It’s good Efeso had 16% because his younger, browner, poorer voters are notoriously difficult to get to the ballot box, so he needs big run ups here.
The most interesting part of Wayne’s ridiculous Poll is the 45% who don’t know.
The political circus freak show that is the Auckland Mayoralty Race lumbers on through until October.
Amazingly it’s utterly open as to who will win.

The National Party just cannot help itself can it? A National Youth dipstick playing amateur rat fucker. At least it was so much more professional when it was run out of John Keys prime ministerial office!
And I suspect Browns support lays in the over 70’s angry ZB listener demographics. Give it bone Wayne, pack it in dude, you’re not wanted!
But until Ted was egged, I’d never heard of him.
In fact the National Party refuses to contest or support local elections in the reasonable belief that there shouldn’t be party politics at the local level. Part of the job of local government is to local government is to address local issues, sometimes in conflict with the central government. The result is that they’ve basically gifted local government to Labour.
Come now Andrew, the Nats aren’t that principled, because they’re backing the beige on grey Viv Beck for more of the same lost in space vanillaness we’ve put up with under Goff.
And what is Citizens and Ratepayers aka Communities and Residents if that ain’t National backed?
Well thats exactly the opposite of what Leo said, he backed by National. National may say they don’t support local elections but it has to be said what they say and do has been proven to be the opposite.
Oh the right of me National party man/children who appear to be sabbotage your oppostion in any way you can.
On the letft of me woke cancel culture who egg their right wing opponants (no I don’t approve of egging anyone, ever).
Both juvenile and pathetic. Please don’t give 16 year olds the vote
eggsactly
Now you know me. Welcome to life AE ( After the Egg).
Can’t wait till Molloy recieves the chains for Auckland!
This is going to be a hoot!
How long after that will the government put in a Commissioner for Auckland to ram home 3 Waters after Leo says to stick the 3 Waters you know where?
I am right with you, Molloy for mayor
Lets hope he sorts out the corruption in Panuku too! When there’s a ‘Housing Crisis!’ Panuku deny developers to build thousands of houses but the chairman of Panuku greenlights his own $850m+ development partnership!
Remind me what a conflict of interest is and also the definition of corruption?

Thank you for the references.
Leo is going to win at this rate…a bit sad for Efeso…perhaps he, Efeso, should have kept a eye on his team, rather than pushing road rage stories to the media…as for Wayne Brown, meh.
Molloy deserves to be saddled with the Mayoralty – supercilious cock
he’ll spend the first year banging his head against a wall cause he will have no control over the CCOs, then will spend the next two years helping his mates rort the system.
Sounds like Phil Goff.
do you wat to add some detail to that allegation?
No Standalone doesn’t sound like Goff. Goff was my Political studies tutor in 1978.

Don’t worry Ted, the Phil Goff comment was a typical troll comment.
By and large people don’t care. They want to moan and bitch about how everything is so terrible in their local area or city but that’s their limit of participation. Those standing for election are useless and won’t do a good job, are incapable of doing a good job, but they won’t put themselves up for doing it.
And of course ‘the system’ is stuffed. Nothing gets done promptly, decisions aren’t made and acted on decisively. They want someone who’ll ‘get things done.’ None of this shilly-shallying, they want Action Man or Woman who doesn’t waste time with investigations and consultations and consultants and reports, they want action.
Yes, but that means a dictator, deciding what is to be done and ploughing ruthlessly ahead. But we don’t actually want that, “Why weren’t we consulted? What happened to democracy?”
It’s all so Mike Hosking. He doesn’t want road cones. He doesn’t want road works. He wants better roads. He wants roads being maintained to a high standard. He wants more roads. He doesn’t want construction impeding aspects of life in the city. He doesn’t want clogged roads. He doesn’t want public transport. He doesn’t want bus lanes.
Actually he needs a brain transplant, as do his ardent followers. Trouble is they have no collateral to start with.
Be certain, it doesn’t matter who it is, whoever gets in is assuredly going to be the “worst mayor we’ve ever had.”
Yes Peter isn’t it hilarious that the Nactional complain about over spending, yet they want a very expensive enquiry into the reserve bank . I am laughing all the way to the bank.
To get a brain transplant, Hosking would have to get a brain in the first place.

I do love a ‘man’ of principle!
Activism today LOL
Prior to unification there were about 6,500 people employed in Auckland regional government including the ARC, and this was thought to be too high. During the amalgamation duplicate roles were identified and the head count fell to approximately 4,500.
Two Labour mayors later and Auckland Council employs over 12,000 people.
We need a mayor with a broadsword to slash and burn!
Where did you get these figures?
My impression of the amalgamation was that they added more layers of management so that no one lost their jobs.
Labour centralising the health system and the water supply, bankrupt NZ, and increase welfare dependence,
because they’re working for the global corporate interests who aim to control everything?

Looking forward to Molloys win, he’ll be an embarrassment, like the rest of his life.
Like Tamaki, it’ll end in a car crash.
Bertie Boy
Leo Molloy CANNOT be any worse than either Phil Goff or Len Brown – because it’s physically impossible to be worse than those two gutless Labour stooges. They are the reason our council is totally out of control and behaves worse than the Wellington Govt…sorry I take that back, nobody behaves worse than them. Maybe you should come and live here instead of commenting from the sideline.
Works everytime!
He won’t win, but Bradburys’ comments ( bar his effusive dislike of me) are pretty good. I’m tempted to donate to him.
And Slater
45% undecided? Wow, I would say the Mayoralty is up for grabs although I guess a lot of the the 45% won’t vote
Polarisation leading to Eggstremism
i see what you did there, very clever
haha
