Waiheke Island's 'push' to cut ties with Auckland

From Afternoons, 2:13 pm on 6 July 2015

Councils around the country have, of late, been considering whether they should follow Auckland's lead and go 'Super'. Wellington and Northland said no, people in Hawke's Bay will vote later this year. But in Auckland itself, some say it's time to cut ties with the Super City, and govern themselves. The push for change comes from an elected member of the Waiheke Local Board, John Meeuwsen.
