The Boomer King Wayne Brown surveys his new kingdom of Auckland

Every passing week, it just becomes more and more apparent that Aucklanders have been played magnificently by the Boomer King.

You’ll remember that when Wayne Burns won, I said the following…

I would expect a ‘report’ to come out suggesting a vast leap in rates to cover the perilous position Auckland has been left in and that those rates will terrify and enrage ratepayers.

…and almost like clockwork, what was the next headline?

Auckland Council $270m budget hole: Mayor Wayne Brown responds, says 12pc rates rises unacceptable and won’t happen

- Sponsor Promotion -

Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown says the prospect of steep rates rises is not acceptable and will not happen as a result of a huge financial hole in the council budget.

…and now look at what is being said…

Auckland Council considers selling assets to fill $270m shortfall

Auckland’s deputy mayor says the council will go line-by-line through its assets to try to fill its $270-million budget hole.

The estimated budget shortfall for the Auckland Council’s next financial year was due to revenue drops from Covid-19, rapid inflation and interest rate rises.

…bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha – Auckland just got played and the privatisation agenda has been snuck in while you all got conned into believing the Boomer King was going to ‘fix it’, rather than ‘privatise it’.

You are being played and to be honest, Auckland deserves what comes next.

If Aucklanders are stupid enough to elect a multimillionaire over a peoples hero like Efeso, they get what’s coming to them.

Perhaps, just perhaps, if the local elections weren’t contracted out to a private company that only saw 8 polling booths for 1.2million Aucklanders more people might have voted and averted the looming privatisation fire sale.

Auckland deserves everything about to happen to us, you dupes!

  1. Few have been duped. You have to swallow a few dead rats in life and Wayne Brown was the lesser of the rat pie. Yep Desley, Mrs of the awful Peter Goodfellow, was always hovering in the background waiting for the great sell off that was underway with Goff anyway.

    But… Just how was Collins one trick free public transport ever going to be funded? Magic beans? And if it failed, well, it’s racist whitey’s fault. Bet the house on it!

    The choice was Auckland Council run by the Simon Wilson fantasy woke brigaders Darby, Hill and other like creatures letting the councils fiefdoms do what the fuck they wanted in the name of being “progressive”. Think AT’s $45 million 1.5 km bikeway on Meola Rd plus the unspoken but integral billion dollar and counting joiner to the out of bounds to the public CBD and ask, where was that money coming from? These seemingly endless multi million dollar spend ups didn’t come for free!

    It was shit either way but reading Greater Aucklands hand wringing outrage and the smited Simon Wilson’s depressing Wayne Browns obsession pieces is therapy enough for me!

    • God what an awful right wing diatribe.
      Wilson is 100% correct in his summation of Brown, you may not like it because Wilson cares for his fellow man and Brown is only interested in the money baby.

    • Don’t be so practical X-Ray – you’re not in tune with the present line of thinking. Off the rails completely. Aucklanders need inventive hopeful ideas – where there’s a will there’s a way.

  3. Excuse the alienated, the discouraged (inc. transient renters) and the young who have never mailed anything except student loan apps–their parents may have done that for them anyway! But that still leaves hundreds of thousands of lazy Supercity sods that could not be arsed voting.

    Once big mouth Molloy was out, you knew the fix was in. Browny the walking cadaver is a placeholder for the Natzos, as his choice of Wifebeater Wednesday Goodfellow’s missus as Deputy Mayor shows. Desley Simpson was apparently a chair of the Finance Committee in the previous Goff led Council.

    So “Desley’s hole” is going to haunt Aucklanders for some time, as did “Stevie’s (Joyce) hole” drop the Labour vote in 2017. The Natzos want to flog off potentially billions worth of POA and Airport shares for a few hundred millions worth of shortfall.

  4. Yeah sure Brown is a privateer but what did the left do to stop him? Did Effeso promise anthing to the ratepayers, the people who are incentivised to vote? Nah, he didnt promise to put the kybosh on the hated cycle lanes the car driving ratepayers hate paying for and he promised free public transport that the car driving rate payers knew they would pay for. On the hustings he simpered in tune with bureacracy. Did he even have a campaign strategist? He failed to get his people, the renters and the left to vote. He couldnt promise to reduce their rent bill, phone bill, gas bill, water bill. He could easily have removed local petrol tax to put money in his constituents pockets but he didnt. There was no compelling reason to vote for him.
