Windbag: The case for every Wellington mayoral candidate
The Spinoff — October 7, 2025Twelve people are running to be the next mayor of Wellington. Here’s the best reason to vote for each of them.
Windbag: An obituary for Vision for Wellington
The Spinoff — September 30, 2025The political super-group presented its final ‘vision’ for the city, but is anyone still listening?
The trickiest problem for Wellington’s next mayor
The Spinoff — September 29, 2025Once water reform is out of the way, all eyes will turn to the complex, expensive quagmire of the council’s social housing. For many years, the role of mayor of Wellington has been the biggest hospital pass in New Zealand politics. The capital is a city with myriad post-earthquake infrastructure problems, the council is saddled with big bills, and the mayor shoulders all the blame from the frustrated public.

The Spinoff — September 26, 2025As local elections fever grips the nation, council candidates are jostling for your vote the best way they know how: by chucking up great big bloody signs on the side of the road.

The Spinoff — September 24, 2025Barring a major upset, polling suggests Andrew Little will win the capital’s mayoral chains with relative ease. But the type of council he will lead is still up in the air. Andrew Little must be feeling pretty good right now. A recent Q+A Verian poll gave him a commanding lead in the race to be Wellington’s next mayor, with 58% of first-choice votes, way ahead of second-placed candidate Ray Chung on 16%.
