Larry Williams Drive

I’m starting to quite like labour MP Paul Eagle as a result of the spat he’s just had with the Wellington City Council. Paul eagle is the MP taking leave from parliament to run for mayor. He’s stuck a bunch of ‘VOTE EAGLE’ digital billboards up around the city ahead of the election in October  But the social media warriors have got angry. They reckon the billboards shouldn’t be up this early because they’re only allowed up six weeks before the election  So, they complained to the Wellington City Council. The council contacted Paul and told him to take them down. He refused. And he told the media he was refusing. He was unequivocal.  Turns out, He’s right. The council is wrong.  Either they don’t’ know their own rules or they do but they tried to get one over him. Because that six-week rule only applies to the plastic hoardings you see on the side of the road and not billboards. And there’s more, this has been done before. Nick Legget ran for mayor back in 2016. He had his face on buildings and busses as early
