Paul to stand for mayoralty
Do you think Tamantha Paul would make a good mayor? Does she have enough experience?
The 23-year-old said she is considering challenging incumbent Andy Foster, who has endured a torrid first term so far and is reportedly already planning for the 2022 election.
Her motivation for standing comes from a desire to be more involved in council decision making.
“I’m a little bit frustrated about how much power and resources we have in doing substantial stuff,” Paul said.
“There are more ambitious and aspirational things I wanted to be able to do on the council.”

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
