Simon Wilson: The big job facing new Auckland mayor Wayne Brown

Auckland has a new mayor Businessman and former Far North Mayor Wayne Brown has steamed ahead of efeso collins for the chains, leading by around 54-thousand votes. Just over 24 hours after the results came in, and he’s already making waves – the Chair of Auckland Transport has resigned, to give him a “clear runway”. Brown has previously said he would replace all the directors of Council-Controlled Organisations, including Auckland Transport. He’s also outlined his pledge to Auckland in today’s Herald on Sunday – to fix what he calls a “broken” Auckland, starting with those CCOs, dealing with the question about the port, and tomorrow getting a briefing on the super city’s finances. NZ Herald Senior Writer SImon Wilson joined Tim Roxborogh and Roman Travers to dissect the issues facing Auckland’s new mayor. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
