Estate agents sacked for racist posts stand for Whau local board

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, a husband and wife who were cut from a real estate company they worked for over racist social media comments are standing in the local body elections.

Paul and Kathryn Davie were real estate agents for Ray White in Auckland’s Blockhouse Bay but had their contracts terminated after making derogatory posts on Facebook about Muslims and Africans in 2019.

The couple are candidates for the Whau Local Board, which covers New Lynn, Green Bay, Kelston, Rosebank, Avondale, New Windsor and Blockhouse Bay.

Paul Davie has a political background and ran unsuccessfully for the Conservative Party in the 2017 General Election. He stood in the New Lynn electorate.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
