/facepalm

Can only hope this rumour of Tindall putting his hat in is true, so the anti Banks crowd have another choice over this joke that is Len Brown.

Banks must be rubbing his hands with glee and more happy than the person who won the powerball this week.

Shit this is just so stupid it's not funny. One of Len Brown's core constituencies will be the poor, church-going folks in South Auckland. Good job, mate, on insulting their prophet. This is over -- John Banks will be the new mayor.

It's all a right-wing smear conspiracy!

And now, someone has leaked JB's credit card details. "I didn't even put a sandwich on it!"

It's ok though, it wasn't as much as Browns.
Right?

CCS · 29th June 2010, 17:51

fixed_truth, I see where you're going with that and it's a fair point. But c'mon, as far as we know, Banks didn't go and buy a stereo system and charge it to the ratepayer or any of that other shit that Brown did. I don't particularly care if Brown paid it back or not - he knew the rules and I don't buy his excuse anyway.

Ab · 29th June 2010, 18:25

The reactions are somewhat different.

Banks: I what? I did charge something to the card? Fuck me. Sorry. Well, it was for this thing and these people were present.

Brown: I will not confirm what this money was spent on, what it was for, or who was present! IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY!

“Figures also show that Mr Banks, who has made a virtue of being frugal with ratepayers’ money, has exceeded the mayoral office budget of $570,865 by $41,606 over the past year.

The biggest problem has been temporary staff costs, which jumped from the budget of $10,000 to $88,372, and catering charges, which have gone from $26,006 to $36,691.

Mr Banks’ weekly breakfast meeting with 25 senior staff and councillors costs $235.50, regular fruit bowls cost $20 and morning teas and working lunches generally cost less than $100.”

from the article.

Hey, I'm not going to leap to Banks's defence, I think the guy's a cock.

That said, $235 doesn't sound like much for a meal for 26 people. That's what, 9 bucks each?

zeekiorage · 29th June 2010, 18:34

I think we need to divide Auckland into smaller parts so these fine gentlemen can rule parts of it.

fixed_truth · 29th June 2010, 18:41

His cc spending is no where near as bad as Browns, but it still makes Banks look a bit like a hypocrite liar.

But that's not why I can't stand Banks

I think Banks is a cock as well, but we've no shortage of cocks at the moment. Did Tindall officially put his hat in the ring or is that just talk so far?

Exaggerating? Grandstanding? Fairly typical for a politician.
