    Two pieces of political rhetoric from two biased sources. Altogether a original pointless post. Bereft of balance, facts or sense.

    Correct - these articles are not about local decisions made by locals,
    but about government and party politics.

    PM Luxon did address the Local Government conference, but what he said
    was largely targeted at getting local bodies to concentrate on core
    services rather than nice-to-haves. He was speaking at a venue built
    by a local body and projected to make a loss. There were some things
    he said that were of concern but this is early days.
