Tantrums

Why is Council taking the childish demands and tantrums of someone who missed out being voted on to council so seriously?

Buddy Mikaere had the same chance as Andrew Hollis to be voted on to council. The fact that Andrew drew more than 7000 democratically-elected votes showed that people (including Maori) thought that Andrew Hollis was the right person for the job in council to represent them speaks for itself.

Buddy Mikaere should be asking himself why he wasn't voted in as he had the same equal opportunity as everyone else.

As far as I know free speech is still allowed in New Zealand but demanding a person should be removed from council because a person said something that most New Zealanders heartily agree with is not to be used as an excuse to try and remove him from council.

Perhaps by trying to do this Buddy thinks he then would have a chance of being elected in his place?

I think this just shows why he wasn't.

Is the epitome of the grievance industry trying to get access to every 'trough' available I'll never forget when the Rena run aground, Buddy thought "his" ship had come in!
