Wayne Brown is moaning about 'cones' again! His latest Op-Ed in the SST over the weekend shows he still hasn't let it go. Here's a traffic management worker telling the reason for them...

@ArrestJK @ZippyGonzales Many of us knew exactly who he was before he was backed by National and Act to become a doorstop to progress. #WayneBrown was the guy who joked about putting pictures of Herald journalist and decent fellow, Simon Wilson, on Auckland's urinals so everyone could piss on him. #YeahNah #NZPol #AucklandMayor

#NZTwits, never forget that it was the National and ACT Party's plus the wealthy property owners who supported the incompetent #AucklandMayor #WayneBrown to power on the promise he would reduce council spending on infrastructure and make rates cheaper. How's that working out?

"Council should set examples when it comes to climate change, Brown said, adding: "The Government have got to provide a bit of leadership there. If we do have a climate emergency, why can I go and buy a Dodge Ram?"

That statement hasn't aged well... πŸ€¦πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ

Todd Niall is too kind in saying, "As the leader of a metropolitan city, which on Friday faced an unprecedented and fatal rain catastrophe, [Wayne] Brown showed he has plenty still to learn about political leadership in a civil emergency."

1. It's a straight-up leadership fail, no need to add politics.
2. Brown was Far North Mayor for 2 terms. If he hasn't learnt by now...

Analysis: Wayne Brown appears to have missed what a mayor's job is in a crisis

Auckland mayor Wayne Brown is defending his leadership and the time it took to call state of emergency. But did he grasp what was asked of him at press conference today?

Please, less of the mansplaining, more of what you are doing to help those affected by the floods and what you are doing to prepare for the more rain forecasted. #AucklandMayor #AucklandFLood
