I think Mr Brown is what Auckland really needs to get back on track

[@peterlattimore6013]

Could you imagine if that "other" mayoral candidate had won??? Auckland would be ruined by interest debt and free buses only a minority would have used. Hope Wayne seeks out a 2nd term

[@yvonneboden-jones8334]

I think Mr Brown is what NZ needs to get us back on track!! Listening from the South Island

[@rigley8830]

Wayne, from what I've heard from you, you make perfect practical sense. You're under a lot of pressure from a left wing woke NZ journalist society. Keep up the good work 👏

[@davidmccormick3742]

I can’t see why The Auckland harbour Bridge isn’t Tolled?? & When is Auckland Airport going to Get A Rail Link??? 6*6 kilometres to Puhinui Railway Station!!! The Good Old Kiwi Can Do Attitude doesn’t exist in Auckland obviously! Although the current Mayor seems a fair enough Bloke! 👍 Regards Dave McC

[@susanpockett4314]

@@yvonneboden-jones8334 From the South Island you clearly can't see what a total mess downtown Auckland is. It's as bad as San Francisco. Like a ghost town, with homeless druggies begging in the main street. Come and have a look before you start opining on whether Mr Brown is what NZ needs.

[@J67844]

Wayne handled Sean like a pro and sounds like he knows what hes talking about. He seems honest and he sounds like he's got a commonsense plan to fix the City.

[@georgetehira5493]

The media in this country is trying to do Wayne Brown what they did to Winston Peters

[@Smoshy16]

Wayne Brown does not suffer idiots. Sean was wary. He knew there was no way he'd get to talk over him.

[@J67844]

Good on you Wayne. Dont give into the WOKE mob. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@Patrick-rj8gh]

Everything he says seem reasonable. The fact that the MSM, herald etc dislike him intensely makes me like him more.

[@vanessamay3689]

The msm is Labour and they will only push Labour agenda. They don’t want Wayne there. Imo he’s the man for the job.Not an easy one by any means.

[@viviennejjackson1838]

I wish he was our Prime Minister.very down to earth .really nice to know that there are straight speaking people still in New Zealsnd.

[@turi03175]

That's how dumb you are playing into their hands easy baits😂😂

[@cathymanley6090]

Fabulous interview Sean. Well done Wayne for answering all of Sean’s questions, shame on those journalists who keep wanting to shoot you down. You’ll have have my vote next time too if you run again

[@howstupidcanyoube100]

Hahaha running Auckland into the ground

[@J.Smith-rc6wh]

the more I hear from Wayne Brown the more I am impressed by his straight forthright way of doing things, no wonder he comes with such an impressive record of acheivements, well done Aucklanders on a great choice for Mayor

[@ailsaeccles111]

Yes I think we should keep him ❤

[@SamVeale]

I like Wayne quite a lot after listening to his answers. Seems quite pragmatic and his dry humor is hilarious 😂

[@ailsaeccles111]

Drury being managed by fletchers and some chinese group 🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭 I'm in stitches!

[@leslieeden8886]

What a refreshing interview giving the real view of Wayne Brown.

[@alangreig5031]

What a breath of fresh air Mr Brown is... an elected offical who's there for the ordinary man in the street and not the agenda driven parasites. I honestly hope Mr. Browns approach is infectious and more local body officals need to take a good look at his approach and copy it for all it's worth.

[@peace2u947]

drongo 🤣🤣 ahhaah!! I thought it was a great turn of phrase, he's a crack up! Practical fella, need more characters like him in Politics. Good on ya champ! He's looking after his people and patch. 👍

[@capebarrengoose7686]

Good one. You gave him a fair go and you got the same back. He has got my vote anytime.

[@brianmooney2654]

Sean. This was a great interview. Why? Because you asked some good questions you had a good interviewee and YOU DID NOT INTERRUPT!!

[@grantmercer8708]

Good to know we have a mayor who is competent and knows what he is doing A smart businessman who will soon have rate payers getting better value for the rates they pay Wayne Brown was the right choice for mayor of Auckland All Phil Goff did was pretend to know what he was doing but had no clue on anything

[@mabelhouston9036]

Great intervie,w, Sean. Informative common sense mayor Brown. Thank you

[@stevehughes1510]

Good to hear from Wayne, he's doing a good job. There's a lot of rubbish to sort out in more ways than one, like his style, and the first time I've heard the real nitty gritty on things from an Auckland Mayor. Go Wayne. Thanks Sean.

[@holsen8269]

I wish the people in Govt would watch this and learn some basic commonsense from Wayne Brown. Auckland will thank you in years to come Browny, you are going great.

[@simon-ds1vp]

Wayne for pm

[@rod-contracts1616]

The government is a bunch of no hopers so they'd not learn a thing from Brown.

[@murraynorris6681]

A no nonsense Wayne Brown, exactly why l voted for you, a pleasure to listen to, no bullshit, but straight talking, thanks for great interview Sean

[@peterlattimore6013]

Leaders like WB give me confidence, NZ isn't full of Government Drongos...

[@yelenapogerbinskaya4247]

Great man, down to earth, practical. He should be our next PM

[@andreatodd3095]

Great interview with Wayne Brown. Fiscal responsibility on behalf of the rate payers is a councilors job, working on drainage improvements is a priority and public transport. Auckland will get there with Mr Browns guidance.

[@brucenicoll4373]

Mr brown keep up the good work thank goodness you are real

[@peasant5612]

I love it I don't think enough have resigned

[@leoharris-ct4jh]

Well done Mayor Brown, about time for some strait honest leadership

[@allan8490]

One of the best interviews on the Platform and will look forward to hear from Wayne again

[@davemansfield6380]

We need more people like Wayne brown.🤞

[@gregg7617]

Massive Respect Wayne 👍⚔️🕊️

[@ianfisher6561]

I have noticed the excessive media scrutiny that Wayne Brown has been under since he assumed office. Imagine if the media was unbiased.

[@vanessamay3689]

The media is bought by Labour.

[@jamesbroughton4706]

yep they nearly had people convinced as well not any more i think hes a great guy

[@wendygerrish4964]

Waynes student army picking up rubbish, clearing drains, should have been national news. Wayne is on to the realestate developers. This mayor is a gem.

[@ronaldwarren1267]

We got the best bloke on the job good on you mate

[@brucerobertson5919]

Farkin love Wayne Brown! He's a healing force after the Ardern years. Honest, pragmatic, competent.

[@adsdft585]

I like how we got a chance to listen to see his overall thinking.

[@andrewlim9345]

Good interview with Wayne Brown. He seems to be a political outsider who challenges the bureaucrats and mainstream media.

[@barefootonasandybeach638]

Ask 100 Aucklanders for their opinion and they will give you 150. Nice to hear Brown is looking at fixing Auckland.. thank you.

[@panoramapete5758]

Wayne for prime minister. Go Wayne.

[@matthewlunam8247]

Priorities with good decision, best mayor yet

[@adiecrispin405]

Enjoyed listening to Wayne Brown

[@MsHburnett]

Remember when he ran starship. Some of Wayne's quotes will outlive the hospital

[@EvanHarrison-e4y]

This guy's bloody legendary

[@Atmosnofear]

Thoroughly enjoyed your interview, and loved his candid-ness and transparency. Were it possible to transport that honesty to Wellington, we'd be much better off I think.

[@junetapp3910]

Tell us what you really think Wayne! . Excellent response to this interview. All mayors should be like this one.

[@rosscorlett1877]

The media don’t like Wayne Brown because he won’t play their BS games and dish out platitudes for them to quote ad infinitum. Well done Wayne for talking sense and getting on with the job. Now all we need is a PM cast in a similar mould.

[@patneho6684]

Winston Peter's

[@ianrobinson9572]

Well done Sean, at last WB gets the opportunity and time to state his case and you both nailed it. Can Wayne Brown be the Mayor of New Zealand?

[@MrJetwpn]

Sounds great, definitely bring him to Hamilton, councils need to get back to vote services!!

[@viviennejjackson1838]

Once again Sean your interview with Wayne Brown was really good.he is a straight nice Guy ,we need people like him in Parliament. Thank you.

[@andreatodd3095]

Yes, Drury....just about cried when I saw that area, beautiful land carved up. Fertile growing land.

[@Jason-gb2zl]

"I hadn't heard of the Spinoff when he came to me, I thought he was an artist". Hilariously accurate - artists of spin.

[@yvonneboden-jones8334]

Great interview! Can't remember watching anyone in that position has made me laugh and believe what they stand for!!

[@peterferan4389]

In 1902 Auckland was considered to be a model city. Unfortunately it has steadily gone downhill ever since. Wayne Brown is what the city needs but sadly whatever he achieves will be steadily undone by the drongos that follow.

[@lynnewilkins0123]

Mr Brown it’s easy to spend others money without accountability. The gravy training sloshing. It takes a level head, living within our means, also future planning. You are smart genuine and zealous. Don’t suffer fools

[@everdienvaneerten6077]

Really like this man's old school approach. Commonsense no nonsense guy. Love him.

[@brutallyremastered4255]

Yep, a marvellous thing to hear plain speaking New Zealanders; no tiresome and utterly predictable jargon and pseudo corporate and political argot. His manner is such a stark contrast - no wonder the foreign owned dislike him. Loved the pugilistic comment.

[@rayallan8481]

Keep up the good work mate

[@debbielacey6229]

Wayne Brown is a good man that is getting things done and looking out for the rate payers like he said he would in his policies.

[@Thebuilder-v7q]

What a great guy Wayne and good luck with your future 👍👍👍

[@TheAldawg77]

I love how all the bleeding hearts don't like this guy. It means he's the right man for the job.

[@MsHburnett]

I stand with Wayne

[@h.h204]

What a pleasure to hear Wayne"s no nonsense comments and his attitude regarding media.From down here in Dunedin he sounds like a Mayor anyone would be proud of."the last guy" as just one example seemed almost orgasmic regarding his new Tug "sparky"( that's the Tug boat that holds 60 thousand litres of Diesel) he looked about as deep as a puddle.Hang in there Wayne !

[@CelestialInsights]

Thank god for Wayne Brown!!! He was so needed.

[@stephendickson9000]

If the airport sold their shares in Queenstown airport (which were got very underhandly) they might have a bit of money. Good interview.

[@southpacific222]

Good on ya Wayne, like your style.

[@4nissangts]

Bring that No.8 wire mentally back mate and lets get back to doing what we do best. As Kiwis we built this country making everything with minimal resources and no help being a million miles from anywhere. A lot of clever ingenuity, hard work and an efficient mentality. We built REAL wealth and equality. Not million dollar debt traps for the banks in Aussie to profit from or which we claim are investments, but forget we created nothing, but a house that is another year worst off. Love how you aren't afraid to call it how it is Mr Brown, keep it up!

[@Wairoa4ever]

PLEASE get wayne back on to get his view of co - governance, racial divide and how these will effect the effectivness of a professional Auckland Council

[@sbvisuals]

Good on ya Wayne

[@ailsaeccles111]

'Not sexy, but quite important'! 🤣🤣 Hurrah for keeping it real Mr Mayor ! 💋

[@user-jz4cw3ph7m]

Wayne seems to have alot of practilbility, a lot of common sense, and a real straight shooter.Would love to have him for Mayor for Whangarei.

[@Westiewest]

Wayne is doing what he said he would, a practical guy getting stuck in and throwing out some trash, carry on Wayne you will get my vote next time if it goes to plan.

[@barrygeary9362]

Wane brown will fix Aucland down to earth Kiwi bloke Phil Goff ran it down with over spending as a typical ex politician he can now reap rewards from his farm he done the damage

[@aakau88]

Seems to make sense! Straight up communicator and why not…

[@carinya18]

First time I have seen an interview with Wayne Brown A man on a mission to work for the ratepayers Not before time

[@waterbourne9282]

Forget the Tron and Windy City, next stop on the Brown train after Auckland is brought to heel the drone infested Beehive please.

[@viviennejjackson1838]

Good on you.ha! Ha! Ha!

[@grahamchester2683]

I am glad I voted for Wayne. He’s doing what he said.

[@annemurray-uu5qg]

Please don’t sell the ports to the Chinese

[@nzdatsports9659]

i really love mayor Brown . a spade is a spade bloke . fucking love it . why cant nelson/tasman have an awesome mayor like him . fuck sake . im in envy .

[@EarthWatch_396]

His crime is not kissing woke ass

[@johnreid-pb3nw]

Good interview and I am glad he's trying to get the basics right without worrying about the optics. He is focused on outcomes for the ratepayers rather than monuments or warm fuzzy ideas. Very bad behavior by well known journalists. John

[@aotearoanewzealandparty1857]

Wayne for PM!

[@operator6786]

Finally an Interview with Wayne Brown, what a refreshing 30 mins, I/we now can understand where Wayne is coming from, what a top Guy as I have said all along give the guy a break he has come into a very difficult job that lets face it all the bloody stone throwers wouldn't remotely be able to handle the pressure, the Herald journalist's who constantly put this guy down are nothing short of garbage ruck making bottom feeders.. Say no more..................

[@kaygibson1842]

Well said. 👍

[@ailsaeccles111]

I'll be back to watch Wednesday chats!

[@desrastrick3326]

Wish that he was in Tauranga

[@jonnkarlsson2362]

Bravo mayor Brown Goff wasted $one million on stadium consultants!! Then tried to deny it.

[@gregg7617]

Yet the Government spent 200 Milion on a sensus 🤣🤣🤣

[@4nissangts]

As for Auckland transport. Industrial spec high speed Gondolas mate. Sounds silly, but quick, quiet, electric, perfect for steep terrain or crossing harbours with out restrictioning Maritime traffic and next to no expensive land to acquire. Goes point to point as the crow flies and gives users a beautiful view and creates a tourism attraction at the same time.

[@patneho6684]

Touche 🎉🎉❤❤

[@johnburnett3942]

Sean an excellent interview. Mayor brown, gave good answers. Keep the back chanel open. We can all learn.

[@kaygibson1842]

Yippee! A keepa.. Enjoyed this chat..

'biggest rain dump we've ever had' - NIWA records.

[@stevehughes1510]

Their records are not that historical unfortunately, more modern retro active. However in my 69 years I've never known it to be so wet in Nov/Dec/Jan ever in Auckland.

[@Marius_vanderLubbe]

@@stevehughes1510 Well they certainly aren't that historical if parts of the record are missing.

[@Rimpilskin]

Yeah good luck getting information from them they don’t want you seeing

Sitting in front of windows makes it very difficult to see the subject matter ie, Wayne Brown. Please draw the curtains and switch the lights on!! Fairly basic stuff for any half decent photographer. 😢

The great thing about msm through my observation is the fact you can gain from them , by assuming the exact opposite of what they are gaslightig , they are so predictably consistent in the spin of bs .I nominate tvnz 1 New Zealand news Channel of the year for the .
