Tradition dictates the city honours its mayors at the end of their term with a painted portrait for the council chambers. Missing from the illustrious oil on canvas line-up is Mike Tana.
The city council has tried to contact Tana, who was mayor from 2016 to 2019, without success.
The end of his term was marred by controversy when the council chief executive Wendy Walker contacted police over the suspected inappropriate use of Tana’s petrol card. The action sparked an expensive investigation.

I caught up with Bailey for an episode of First Rung, our podcast for first time buyers. She ended up giving me a bit of a masterclass in tenacity and not giving up on your home owning dreams.
Find out how Bailey found her first home, and what it means to her after such a big let down.

After three years, Emma was adopted by a New Zealand family and brought here for a new life - but that didn’t work out how it was supposed to.

I seem to be boxer/American bulldog type crossbreed, or SPCA Special as everyone says! I am deaf, so am looking for a special home to go to with an owner who is committed to helping me learn all the usual stuff, just with a different way of learning through visual language and a lot of patience.

I am deaf, so am looking for a special home to go to with an owner who is committed to helping me learn all the usual stuff, just with a different way of learning through visual language and a lot of patience.
A home where I will get plenty of time and commitment invested in me would be most beneficial, and I will definitely reward you back with years of love and loyalty.
An existing dog in the household could be great, to help me learn from them! I will need ongoing training around other dogs, as I cannot hear verbal signals from dogs, so need an experienced adult to guide me through interactions. I am continuing to learn with other dogs in the centre, and look forward to carrying this on in my home.

She knows what she's talking about, too. Not only did she smash more than $90k of debt in three years, but in the year since she paid it off, she's saved enough, on top of her Kiwisaver, to pay the deposit on a home of her own.
It wasn't easy, and Tracy would be the first person to tell you that! But it is doable. Check out how, and have a listen to our episode of First Rung about Settlement day, on this link below. It includes some tips from Tracy on setting up a budget to manage your finance when you have a mortgage to pay.
