Avsnitt Anita Baker: Porirua mayor defends ratepayer-funded trip to Sydney for inaugural Trans-Tasman Mayoral Cup Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive Spela Dela
Porirua mayor's defending a trip to Western Sydney planned for November, calling the sister city relationship important. Anita Baker will travel to Blacktown for the inaugural Trans-Tasman Mayoral Cup, played between football teams from both cities. It'll cost ratepayers $2500 dollars in flights for Baker and a local kaumatua, with Blacktown's council providing accommodation. Baker says she keeps costs low by not employing office staff - and managing rates rises. "We've had our sister city relationship with Blacktown for 42 years, so I think it's a reasonable expense."
