Whangārei Mayor Vince Cocurullo is being slammed by five of his councillors for refusing to allow council debate on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict next week.

An open letter to the
leaders of National, ACT and NZ First
Dear
Gentlemen,
Hopefully you will read this message. Whatever the Election outcome, voters trust you will find ways to collaborate effectively. Your common goal is to pull New Zealand back from the abyss after Labour’s gross mismanagement and outright deceit which leaves a legacy of shame.
Your respective policies all emphasize that New Zealand faces unprecedented challenges to return to its “first world country” status. This involves massive hurdles and success is far from certain. The country is all but broken with complex issues in all directions.
