The Boards are not demanding anything
Sigh – another sloppy story.
The Herald reports a NewstalkZb story:
Auckland’s Local Boards are demanding action on the ports dispute.
More than 30 members have told the Council it’s time to stop sitting on its hands, and step in.
Board member Michael Wood says the port’s management and board are out of control, and exposing the city’s economy to an enormous risk.
The Boards have not demanded anything. 30 assorted board members (most of whom will be union backed Labour Party candidates or activists like Michael Wood) have demanded something.
There are a total of 148 local board members, so this Labour Party grouping represents around 20% only.
