Well as I said on the gaggle thread the six spin doctors must have been flat out working on something and that something MUST have been Len’s loop – I mean what else would need six of them.

Obviously the latest US import has made a breakthrough (which is why he was imported in the first place) and the clear strategy now is: don’t say a thing, about anything. Present a united front, act like NFL linebackers protecting Len the talented if rather scrawny and girly quarterback and if any particularly determined wily journo looks like breaking through, just jump on them, straight away.

I wonder what’s going to happen next?

It’s quite exciting isn’t it.

I’m glad I don’t live in Akld anymore so I’m not paying for this. That’s partly why it’s so very exciting.

DPF, in fairness I think you should point out that three staffers are part time, but you probably know that already.

One thing Mr Brown is very good at, is he gives the appearance of never getting into the grubby practicalities of governing. He’s more of a supercity figurehead, or celebrity, who spends most of his available time prostrating himself to either the Pacific Island community or cavorting homosexuals.

No No No DPF. You dont understand. This is Commissar Brown you are talking about and Aucklandistan.

In Aucklandistan the Commissar and his loyal lieutants dont have to engage with the masses. In fact Commissarr Brown has made is quite clear he will not engage with the masses.

Especially those citizens like me who have criticised his policies. If the good citizens of Aucklandistan have a brain they will dump Brown Hulse and most of the rest of the Council and also remand the unelected Directors of the CCOs that hide behind closed doors are done away with

Aucklandistans governance is appalling. there is no transperancey no disclosure massive conflicts of interest and self interest.

I agree with D.G. Good on DPF for pursuing the issue.
The dismal (and slippery) comrade Brown should come clean.

Maybe there really is a need for six staff. But it would be good to hear what it is.

So that’s type of thing the Green’s mean when they say the government should be creating jobs?

There seems to be a very blurred line between the accountabilities of Len Brown, Mayor of Auckland and Len Brown, 2013 mayoral candidate; just sayin’…

“…..All at a time when Auckland is borrowing 3,000,000 dollars every single day to just keep the lights on….”

What? NZ’s economic powerhouse -Auckland- AND -run by Len- is running at an operating loss of $21 million a week?

I would tend to think that 6 spin doctors would be needed!

Nobody fooled by his claim that he is abstaining from the vote to give his donors and mates 30 million buck for a white water rafting centre in manukau. His team of spinners are running the campaign from within his office.
All at a time when Auckland is borrowing 3,000,000 dollars every single day to just keep the lights on.

He doesn’t like properly disclosing his expenses either, so his silence on this is not a surprise.

There is no need for him to have any spin doctors. the rate rort has seen his suburbs locked in as Len voters forever.
This is evidenced by the fact that nobody has put themselves forward to stand against him.

6 spin doctors.
Whats the problem, they are free right, it’s only ratepayers money.
