Auckland's mayor is calling for more leadership - and labelling the city's innovation and tech sector 'random'. Wayne Brown has laid out a to-do list for central Government before it releases its Budget this month. He wants a tourist bed tax, looser transit visas, and more preparations for major population growth. Brown says a bed tax would fund bigger projects he has planned for the city - and he's hoping the Government will reconsider one. "We've just had two-thirds of the Aucklanders thinking it's a hell of a good idea to get some funds in to watch big events - and the hoteliers up here think it's a good idea."

Auckland's Business Chamber CEO says we have nothing to lose by loosening transit visas for Chinese nationals. Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown's updated his Auckland Manifesto, laying out a Beehive to-do list. It includes calling for the Government to reconsider loosening transit visas for Chinese Nationals, giving them more freedom for short stays in the country. Simon Bridges told Ryan Bridge it would be an easy sugar hit for the economy. He says he can't think of single reason not to do it, as China's a lot more developed and wealthy than other South-East Asian countries. Bridges is also backing the mayor's renewed call for a tourist bed tax in the city. Browns calling for the Government to reconsider an Auckland tourist bed tax, adding a small levy on short term accommodation. Bridges told Bridge it'll help bring in funding so more major events can come to the city. He says both central and local government are failing Auckland when it comes to major events.

So, Auckland looks like it's doing it again: dilly dallying in decision making about big stuff. A council advisory group has informed us that neither the fancy waterfront stadium nor an upgrade of Eden Park is considered feasible. The full council still must vote on it on Thursday, so we'll see if anyone has some balls. Now by "not feasible" they mean not viable without public funding. We don't seem to have a charitable billionaire in our midst so the dough would have to come from the public purse. This is a question every major city wrestles with, but other cities seem to be braver. This week Brisbane has casually announced a new stadium to host the Olympics, calming putting nearly four billion dollars on the line. We're a growing nation. We need a venue for the events that come in 2025. Whether it's big sport or big concerts. We've seen how much fun Eden Park has been this week, three different sports in one week. It would be great to have a venue that's modern, complete, and full of character. I love stadiums. I'm super excited about Canterbury's Te Kaha. Forsyth Barr is great, and Sky Stadium just needs new seats and maybe a roof. But what do I want for Auckland? Now first I have to admit that Eden Park has given me tickets to events, but I would be happy for the waterfront stadium to go ahead. We'd never regret it I'm also happy for an Eden Park upgrade, after all Sydney ripped down the perfectly functional Sydney football stadium and completely replaced it. But it really is time for someone to put their neck on the block and just do it. Every city needs a Cathedral, and every city needs an iconic stadium.

When I saw Brian Tamaki on the news last night, he looked more pompous than ever. Pompous - not pious. Because he was the one who instructed his so-called followers to disrupt that drag artist's kids show and protest at the Auckland Rainbow Parade at the weekend. From the pictures I've seen, both of those events looked pretty ugly. His idea. Under his instructions. And I've had a gutsful of this guy. And we need to be condemning him in the strongest way possible. Because, it seems that's all we can do. Sadly. They were doing a particularly vigourous haka at the end of the parade. That wasn't free speech. That was hate. I saw one person saying on the news that Tamaki's Man Up crew is nothing more than a gang and should be treated that way. This person made particular mention of the gang patch legislation - saying that these guys ride around on motorbikes wearing patches, So why aren't they included in the gang patch ban? The organiser of the rainbow parade says there is a difference between freedom of speech and hate speech - and what we saw at the weekend was hate. And I completely agree. The parade organiser says it was clear that they had set-out to intimidate, to bully, and get their message of misinformation across. I agree they wanted to intimidate. And I agree they were a bunch of bullies. But I don't know about the misinformation bit, because you never get any information from these clowns (misinformation or otherwise). And, as per usual, we had weasel words from the Prime Minister when he was asked about it yesterday. He said he respects peoples right to free speech and he respects people's right to protest, but he said Tamaki's puppets “went too far”. You're damn right they went too far. Even by turning up, they went too far. What the PM should have done yesterday was condemn Brian Tamaki and his deluded followers in the strongest way possible. He should have done what Auckland mayor Wayne Brown did. He said it was nothing short of “thuggery”. Which is a great way to describe it. I thought Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick was a bit light on it when she said that the rainbow community needs love and support, not hateful rhetoric. I know what she's saying, but I want her to condemn these people too. Because, for me, this wasn't free speech - it was hate speech. And remember that this kind of thing isn't new for this Destiny lot. You'll remember they got all excited about an event at the library in christchurch that time when there was an event with people in drag reading stories to kids. And there's no stopping them. Last night Tamaki was saying that he doesn't think they've gone far enough yet. And he challenged the Prime Minister to get show some fortitude and to do a Donald Trump, and declare that only two genders will be recognised in New Zealand. Male and female. So these guys are dangerous. Not because of their mickey mouse beliefs, but because of the way they express them. If someone doesn't like the idea of same sex people being in relationships - they're allowed to feel that way. If someone thinks we should go back to the way it used to be, with just boys and girls and men and women, they can think that too. Good luck to them. But when people take it to the next level - like we saw at the weekend - that's not ok by me. I tell you what else isn't ok. The fact that this outfit is out there bullying people - dishing out their hatred - and because they call themselves a church, they enjoy all the tax benefits that come with that. A few years back, some Destiny Church charities were removed from the charities register for not filing their annual tax returns. Before that happened, more than 70,000 people signed a petition calling for Charities Services to strip the church of its tax-exempt status. I've had a look at the register today and the Destiny Church New Zealand Trust is still there. There are still some regional branches registered as a charity too. Which is a rort. And, until the government delivers on its promise to crackdown on so-called “charities” not paying tax, we just have to accept that it is what it is. But that doesn't mean we have to sit back and let these people do what they want. We can't make them pay tax. We can't tell them to take their patches off - because they're not a gang. But we can stand up and tell them to pull their heads in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, it's the end of another quarter. But even bigger, it's the very last day of 2024. And it means only 359 days until we welcome Santa Claus again. WOW, what an interesting year it has been. Putting aside wars, international conflicts, crazy sanctions, and one of the busiest years I can recall with elections around the globe. In business and economics, we started the year with the World Economic Forum speaking about the Future of Growth Framework amidst a sluggish global economy. And we watched a noticeable growing trend—the increasing reliance on AI to make major decisions, particularly being utilized by governments, which may surprise many listeners. (worrying or not, only time will tell), but for business leaders, you will need to prepare yourself for a changing of the business rules; that much I'm very confident about.

Auckland's Mayor Wayne Brown joins Kathryn Ryan to talk about taking back control of transport policy and planning, his plans for Auckland's development agency Eke Panuku and its events agency Tataki Auckland Unlimited.

A huge political victory for Auckland mayor Wayne Brown. Having campaigned on taking greater control over Auckland's CCO's (Council Controlled Organisations), the mayor is set to get his wish when it comes to Auckland Transport. Transport Minister Simeon Brown has confirmed that Auckland's transport policy and planning will shift from AT back over to Auckland Council. Remember, under the current model - Auckland Council has had two elected councillors on the board of AT. But Wayne Brown argued this assigned too much of the major decision making to unelected officials. He was always lamenting that people came up to him in the street and moaned to him about problems that were AT's responsibility, not realising that actually the council had limited control. Like all power, of course, you have to be careful what you wish for. If Auckland Council and the local boards are to have more authority over transport planning in our biggest city, they'll also have the blame if residents don't feel they're making the right calls. Under the changes, Auckland Council will retain a transport CCO. But - his opponents have to accept that Wayne Brown has surprised a lot of people as mayor. He has built relationships on both sides of the political spectrum and advocated effectively for Auckland's ratepayers. He promised to get greater control over the Council Controlled Organisations - and Auckland Transport was top of the list. And whether you like the council's subsequent transport policies or not - on that promise, he has delivered. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wayne Brown is proposing major reforms to Auckland's council controlled organisations in his draft budget proposal. Brown wants to scrap the council's urban regeneration and property management arm Eke Panuku, and return its functions to the council. Tataki Auckland Unlimited could lose its economic development, events and tourism marketing roles, becoming solely focused on managing stadiums, theatres and other facilities. Brown says he's 'hopeful' Auckland Council will be on board with these changes. "I think that Aucklanders should be in control of Auckland, frankly. And that means I'd like to get a bit less input from Wellington, as well as independent councils." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BEWARE - I was having major technical difficulties during this conversation, but it's still a highly valuable one to listen to! I did my absolute best to fix/minimize the issues in post/editing. There's only so much I know how to do! This episode is a must-listen for parents, guardians, and anyone who cares about supporting kids' mental health, as we tackle the real-life challenges of accepting children as they are and building genuine, lasting connections. More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/wayne-brown In this episode of ETFA, MommaFoxFire interviews Wayne Brown, a clinical social worker and advocate, on the topic of accepting children as they are. Wayne shares his journey from inner-city teaching to social work, emphasizing his commitment to helping individuals facing diverse challenges, such as addiction, gender identity, and rare medical conditions. Wayne's unique perspective stems from his personal experiences, including his diagnosis of acromegaly and a rare thyroid condition as an infant, which taught him resilience and adaptability. Throughout the conversation, Wayne discusses the importance of meeting children where they are emotionally and listening to them without judgment or distractions. He highlights how showing genuine interest in children's seemingly small stories can build trust, allowing children to feel heard and valued. This foundation of trust is especially important as children age and face complex issues like gender identity, mental health, and social pressure. Wayne underscores that fostering open communication from an early age encourages children to share significant life challenges with their parents as they grow older. Wayne also shares practical advice for parents who work from home or have busy schedules. He recommends establishing clear boundaries, like keeping the door closed when working, while ensuring children receive undivided attention during designated family time. Intentional time together and respectful boundaries are essential to balancing work and family while maintaining meaningful connections. The conversation covers common misconceptions about children's resilience. Wayne asserts that resilience requires nurturing through supportive relationships rather than assuming kids will simply "bounce back." Children need consistent validation and support to navigate struggles, especially with issues tied to self-esteem and identity. Wayne shares a key technique for parents: listen to kids when they are young, as this builds the trust that enables them to confide in you about tougher subjects in adolescence. When discussing ways parents can navigate their children's unique struggles, Wayne shares specific strategies, including using "SMART" goals to help kids set achievable objectives. He also addresses the value of modeling emotional openness and vulnerability with children. Wayne stresses that children are intuitive and sensitive to their parents' emotions, so maintaining a calm and accepting demeanor is crucial when addressing sensitive issues like gender identity, peer pressure, or mental health challenges. As the interview progresses, Wayne emphasizes that parents' engagement in politics and social issues is equally valuable for modeling an active, well-rounded life. He encourages families to educate themselves on current events and make informed choices, reinforcing critical thinking skills in their children. Wayne advocates for parents to allow children space to form their own beliefs, noting that respecting children's developing opinions helps build self-confidence and autonomy. The episode concludes with a discussion on the value of therapy as a means of fostering self-acceptance and resilience, which Wayne views as essential for everyone, including parents. He emphasizes that mental health conversations should be open and stigma-free, empowering families to seek help and support one another on their journeys. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommafoxfire/support

Auckland's Mayor admits there's no way to guarantee the safety of passengers on public transport. Figures released exclusively to Newstalk ZB show Auckland Transport is dealing with about 83 incidents a week on trains, and an increasing number of those incidents are violent. Emergency services are being called to incidents on buses nine times a week, including stabbings, beatings, and other attacks. Wayne Brown told Mike Hosking he's asking Police to hop on buses during their regular patrols, but there can't be cops and security on every bus. He says they've set aside money to start caging drivers to protect them, but they can't cage passengers. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown has revealed a proposal to build a second harbour bridge between Pt Chevalier and the North Shore as a cheaper alternative crossing option.  This would involve using the naturally existing lava flow at Meola Reef to support a new bridge across the Waitematā Harbour crossing to Kauri Point on the North Shore.  In response, critics have questioned the investment, whether the proposal would solve issues of traffic congestion, and have raised concerns regarding environmental implications, disrupting suburban areas, and iwi consultation.  Additionally, Auckland Council received criticism earlier this week over information revealed through an Official Information Act request by the Auckland Ratepayers Alliance that Council spent over $250k on repairing four sets of stairs on Milford Beach.  Sofia spoke to Councillor Shane Henderson about both of these topics.

As the debate over a second Auckland harbour crossing continues, one architect has proposed an alternative solution.  Reset co-director Garth Falconer has proposed a new six-lane ‘Waitematā Bridge' positioned 500m from the Auckland Harbour Bridge, costing under $2.5 billion. Falconer says he's discussed this idea with Auckland mayor Wayne Brown - and he's open to additional crossings.  "We've had a good discussion and he's interested in looking at multiple crossings and looking at opportunities for urban regeneration."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Wayne Brown, Peter Malinauskas, and Steve Jurkovich.

Wayne Brown's idea is a causeway or series of bridges, from Meola Reef in the central city suburb of Point Chevalier and to Kauri Point in the Northsotre suburb of Birkenhead. Labour's plan for a second harbour crossing that included rail and road tunnels was estimated to cost more than 55 billion dollars. The Government's focus is on an additional crossing for vehicles. Auckland mayor Wayne Brown spoke to Lisa Owen.

Some experts believe mayor Wayne Brown's second Auckland harbour crossing won't fly. Brown revealed a proposal to build a bridge stretching from Meola Reef to Kauri Point on the North Shore. Auckland University senior lecturer of architecture and planning Bill McKay says there'd need to be a number of feeder motorways through Point Chev to get to the bridge. "You know, the pushback from the locals and all that means it's all amounting to nothing." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The knives appear to be out for Auckland Transport.  Wayne Brown's putting forward a proposal to strip AT of its policymaking functions and have elected representatives control it.  It also includes plans to abolish the council's development agency and its events and economic development agency.  He'll need the backing of councillors, and in the case of AT's control, a law change.  Brown told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he's sick of being blamed for things he doesn't control.  He said that AT has had 12 years of complete independence to the point where the council almost seems to be more of a nuisance than an owner, and they're not listening as much as he'd like.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
