John Banks back

You would think Aucklander's would have learnt there lesson last time around.

Due to a low voter turnout John Banks has got back the Auckland mayoralty. He has promised he has changed from last time but somehow I don' t think this tiger has changed his stripes.

Expect more homophobic nonsense, general intolerance and other comments from this Mayor of Auckland.

It also looks like Lindsay Rea has just missed out on been Auckland City's first out lesbian councillor missing out by only a few votes in Western Bays. Final results are due by the middle of the week so hopefully some specials which might help push her over the line.

And for more bad news expect homophobe David Hay back as Deputy Mayor.
