Auckland Mayoral Debate

TVNZ announced:

TV ONE’s political programme, Q+A will host the first Auckland super city mayoral debate LIVE this Sunday morning.

Mayors Andrew Williams, John Banks and Len Brown will be together for the first time on TV to debate who should be the inaugural super mayor of Auckland. All three sitting mayors join Q+A host Paul Holmes to discuss their vision for the future of the country’s biggest city.

What do they stand for? Who are they? What plans do the have to deal with Auckland’s traffic, waterfront and difficult transition into a single, unified city? Holmes will get the answers in this extended debate on Q+A, this Sunday, August 1 from 9am on TV One

The decision to include Andrew Williams is a strange one as he will not even come third in my opinion. Either the debate should be the two leading contenders or all the Mayoral candidates. Ewen Gilmour should be there, if Williams is there. And at least Ewen is funny on purpose.
