These flaws were exposed in the process that had to be followed for the tie and recount in last month's Galatea-Murupara Ward election.
This saw candidate Hinerangi Goodman declared the winner by ballot, inaugurated to Council, then declared unsuccessful following a recount.
Whakatāne District Mayor Judy Turner acknowledged the profound hurt caused to both candidates, their supporters and whānau through the election process.

Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.
The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.

Jo and Rachel talked about what's going on in their own backyards and suggested some edible crops you can sow and grow yourself. Jo gave a masterclass in planting tomatoes, the pair discussed peeing on lemon trees and keeping cats out of your vege beds, and Rachel talked to a Central Otago gardener who has to deal with extreme temperatures, extreme drought... and temperamental donkeys. You can also follow the conversation on Spotify and Stitcher. Let your friends know too!
