The Dunedin mayoralty

(who is standing for Mayor) blogs:

In a televised mayoral forum current mayor Dave Cull accused me or councillors of lying about claims of Greater Dunedin councillors working together.

believe the evidence shows that Cull is trying to blatantly mislead the public about his Greater Dunedin ‘group', about their motives and what they have done during the current term – in other words, he appears to be the one who is lying.

The dispute is over whether the Greater Dunedin group is just a loose association or effectively a party that if they gain the majority of will rule the Council. There have been reports that they do meet as a caucus in the Mayor's office with other Councillors excluded. Now any group of Councillors can meet as they like – but transparency is important. If you are a caucus, then be open about it.
