Bigot for Mayor - Banks in early lead over Hubbard
Dick Hubbard faces an uphill battle to break the bogey of one-term mayors in Auckland City with a Herald-DigiPoll survey showing his old rival John Banks leaping to an early lead. Some of the things that have come out John Banks mouth over the years could lead some to conclude that he is a homophobic bigot, however Banksie supporters will tell you that he has mellowed into a moderate bigot, well that’s okay then, he’s a moderate bigot. Let the man run NZs most cosmopolitan city, he’s only half the homophobe he was when he was last in power, any pretence that Aucklanders are a more enlightened lot than their provincial brothers and sisters will turned on its latte sipping head if Banks gets elected, the horror of course is that with Auckland increasingly becoming a gentrified country club for rich people and it’s outright old boy baby boomer cronyism network is more powerful than ever, the king of the old boys, John Banks, will probably get more done than any mere millionaire cereal maker outsider. Joy.
