Hamilton councillor Andrew Bydder believes it’s ‘absolutely acceptable’ for his constituents to hurl profanity laden abuse at him in order to get him to do his job.

And he contended lowering debate among the city’s leaders around the council table to a similar prison-yard level could ‘improve governance’.

The comments come after an expletive laden submission Bydder sent to neighbouring Waipā District Council over constructing a third bridge in Cambridge.

Opening a new restaurant in an economic downturn looks less risky than dropping his 14-day-old girl into a stranger’s arms while his house burned around him.

Chandan Kumar has brought Mac’s Steakhouse and Cocktails to Hamilton, just as many other hospitality venues in town struggle to get customers through the doors.

“Once, I lost everything. I have nothing to lose now,” he says.
