A New Zealand Herald reporter says he is still waiting for an apology from the Auckland mayoral candidate, Wayne Brown, for comments Brown made about him.
Brown was caught on camera saying, if elected, he would stick pictures of Simon Wilson in urinals so people could "pee" on him.
Wilson says his job is to test whether the candidates are fit for office and Mr Brown's comment should not interfere with that.
"I'm doing my job. My job is to follow this election and to ask the questions about the candidates and to test their fitness for office, that's my job, and really you expect that people will understand that in the process, not that you'll be thought of in that way."
Wilson says the focus should be on the mayoral contest and not on him.
"This is not a contest between me and Wayne Brown it's a contest now down to the wire between the Efeso Collins and Wayne Brown. I'd hate to think that focus was lost."
