Councillor turns back on waiata ahead of vote on iwi seats

Matt Tso Reporter from Community News

Wellington City councillor Sean Rush has turned his back on a waiata during a heated council meeting on Wednesday over establishing iwi seats.

Rush took the action as seven councillors sung a short waiata after a move from councillor Jill Day to request a vote on establishing iwi seats on council committees.

He objected to the proposed amendment because it fell outside the scope of the council paper, which is aimed at reviewing the electoral system for the next two elections.

Stamps wanted

Marty from Johnsonville

I run a Stamp club at Tawa School to encourage children to collect stamps and learn about countries, history and more. Unfortunately new stamps aren't often seen these days as it's all electronic! If you have any stamps or old collections sitting around, let me know and I'll come and get them.
