Tory Destroyed
Wellington Mayor,Tory Whanau was hung out to dry by one of her favourite and most frequently visited Wellington restaurants just recently.
I cannot believe that a restaurant whose staff must know the Mayor from her frequency of visits and her profile would have treated her as a sacrificial meal and whose manager/owner was so willing to take the Mayor through the media wringer as he did.
Ok, so a bill was not paid by ANOTHER member of her twosome until the next day - on no prompting by the restaurant.
OK that the Mayor was tipsy/slightly drunk as the result of a kind of celebration of a successful major task for Wellington's benefit. Give her a lot of rope I would say and yes, just refrain from serving her and her friend any more alcohol but maybe offer to call her a cab.
It was shabby and un-neighbourly. Treating a young, hard working, vivacious woman the way this so called upmarket restaurant did.
Reminds me a little of the way another young woman of note was treated and who consequently suddenly resigned from NZ's top job. I hope Whanau stays the course not that I am a fan of some of the planks she stood for in her winning an election by a landside in trouncing dour, drab male opponents of little vision.

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!
