Too good not to share. Rodney Hide is The Hood

The Cynic reckons this will be the makeup of the First Waiheke Community Bored

Densie Roche, Fay Storer, Herb Romaniuk, Colin Bearsonand Jo Holmes.

Go on, prove me wrong

While all the candidates are busy lobbying for our votes I have noticed a level of madness setting in. Councillor Roche declared she is not part of a team yet her campaign manager and partner John Stansfield posts“Waiheke local board Denise Roche, Dorte Wray, Millie Watkins,gals all in the top 5 of the radio poll.We should be so lucky folks, make sure you vote” on his Facebook page.

John has not advised which radio poll, There are three Radio Stations on Waiheke, only one would be interested in doing a poll an guess what, according to Waiheke Radio’s Chris Walker, they haven’t

As a commuter and effectively part of the life force of the island, the number one concern to me is parking. Easy access and close to the boat. This lucky team John Stansfield is supporting consists of a Greenie and a person who has disposed of her car. What f’n interest do any of them have in commuter parking.

My advice to commuters, Vote for Herb. Here is a serious set of eyebrows that has actually clearly defined his parking objectives. As for the dream team promoted by John Stansfield, keep dreaming.

Slip on Oceanview Rd

The recent, hard hitting pull no punches, Gulf News interview with John Banks proved without a doubt that he has David Hay’s hand right up his arse.

Dear John,

There is no substance to that perpetually spouted drivel about of the cost of Waiheke waste collection under Clean Stream vs. TPI. When you are ready to release the true figures give us a call however we won’t hold our breath as we all know you are just a puppet mayor and David Hay and his C & R team really run council.

The Cynic

So Faye Storer is still bitter at being robbed of her job as Gulf Islands councillor. I would like to suggest that Landslide Denise Roche’s overwhelming 12 vote victory was little more then testament to the contempt Faye showed to the voting public of Waiheke. On my regular Saturday visits to the market, Faye would be holding court with her cronies in the hall, never lifting an eye to even acknowledge the people that would smile in her direction. A smile of acknowledgment to our councillor. All it would have taken was to be nice to 12 more people. A big ask? apparently.. You got what you deserved Faye.

For f&^%$ sake, who does John Duthie think he is spouting off this unbelievable nonsense. The Cynic is absolutely astounded at the way these Auckland City Council officials pedal their poo.

To John Duthie, please answer the questions asked by the Marketplace. Do you honestly think that if you spout the same bullshit often enough it will become the truth.

George Carlin once said, Just think how dumb the average person is, then you realise half of them are dumber than that.

And to the Marketplace, it is good to see you starting to ask the hard questions.

The Cynic is glad to see that common sense has prevailed and that the speed limit on Onetangi Rd (aka Onetangi Straight) will remain at 80.
