Poll: Have you ever attended a council meeting?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A meeting of the South Waikato District Council turned into little more than a farce after a local YouTuber and “citizen journalist” refused to turn off his camera, leading to the meeting being adjourned.

What was to be the first full council meeting of the year, with important decisions to be made on Waikato Water Done Well legislation, and rates rebates for Kinleith MIll workers destined to lose their jobs, almost didn’t make it past the opening karakia.

I bring people together, though I’m not alive;

I’m often green, sometimes blue or red—
without me, connections might be dead—
What am I?
