124. Local Politics (Again) with Ben Tito Caldwell

Ben "Tito" Caldwell is back for another guerrilla podcast while he dropped into Christchurch for a couple of gigs. Ben thought it would be a good idea to chat some more about local politics as in New Zealand the local elections are coming up soon and so we might help keep them in people's mind. We chatted about what it's been like working as a public servant as Ben has, what powers the local councillors do and don't have, and then we also talked a bit about the central politics as well as the development of cities with things such as cycle lanes.
As said in the episode, Ben's opinions and statements do not reflect those of his employer. Me on the other hand yeah all that uninformed drivel that came tumbling out reflects the views of my employer (me).
