Friday Faceoff: Nicola Young and Julie Anne Genter talk Tory Whanau's comments and fencing the waterfront

from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB

Wellington mayor Tory Whanau claims her council is the "government's punching bag" and has labelled the Prime Minister "not a nice person". Is there some truth to the government constantly beating up Wellington City Council, and was it right for the Mayor to go personal?  Also, the Coroner has released her report into the death of Sandy Calkin, who died after falling into Wellington Harbour after a night drinking in July 2021. The report found the council had consistently ignored the risks of people falling into the harbour, despite 7 deaths and 17 others falling but surviving. Is this proof we need to fence our waterfront? Green MP for Rongotai Julie Anne Genter and Wellington City Councillor Nicola Young joined Nick Mills for Friday Faceoff.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
