Dame Kerry Prendergast: Former Wellington Mayor on the Government appointing a Crown Observer to Wellington City Council

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

A former Wellington Mayor thinks Tory Whanau's made the right call to accept a Crown observer at her council.

The city's Long Term Plan's being re-written after the city u-turned on its decision to sell its shares in Wellington Airport.

There's also been a raft of issues around the council table.

Local Government Minister Simeon Brown cited councillors walking out of meetings and refusing to participate in votes as rationale for intervention.

Ex-Wellington Mayor Dame Kerry Prendergast told Mike Hosking there'll be some relief from Wellingtonians this morning.
