He was elected Mayor 11 times – twice for Waitemata City and nine times for Invercargill.
He also has stood for Mayor of Auckland twice, Dunedin once and MP for Selwyn once.
As I have reported on, he should have retired before his final term. But he should be remembered for all the good he did for Invercargill. He really put it on the map, and was such a champion for it.

I don't care where, as long as I'm mayor.
RIP Tim.
Kiwi overuse of the word 'iconic' has ironically made it generic.
