While I was observing at the last Auckland Council business meeting, I heard someone comment that Gael Baldock was one formidable lady!
It’s true that she doesn’t sit back when there’s something going on that needs to be righted. And certainly, those following undemocratic paths will have experienced the pointy end of her disdain. I’m sure they would have preferred to rubber stamp their dubious policies in peace.
Over the last few years, I have watched Gael taking a deep interest in central Auckland’s affairs. She has intently followed Waitemata Local Board (WLB) business and pushed for a better outcome whenever she could. This term she is standing as a candidate for the WLB. Let's help her.
Over the last term, Community and Residents (C&R) have been valiantly doing their best on the Waitemata Local Board, with the constant nuisance of polarised voting in an ideology dominated environment. All strength to them in the next election.
Hopefully Waitemata voters will recognise what has gone down on that Board over the last 3 years; and make sure this time, that sensible & practicable policies will have a chance to breathe.
While I’m at it… let’s make sure Mike Lee is re-elected as Auckland Councilor for the Waitemata, Hauraki and Gulf Ward too!
