Nelson Mayor, Nick Smith

Auckland's new mayor says Wellington should 'butt out and listen to what we want' Wayne Brown is at odds with Jess about his need to achieve some form of consensus. He was talking to Katie Brathar at his victory party yesterday, but he didn't join us this morning. Now Nelson has a new man, it's someone who's represented the city in another job for decades. Nick Smith will be working both locally and with central government to ensure that tourism recovers from August landslides.
