Tory Whanau: Wellington mayor says collapse of her majority is 'political theatre'

Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau says the so-called collapse of her council majority is just "political theatre". 

Whanau is fresh from passing the council's long-term-plan, controversial with many councillors due to her support for selling the council's 34 per cent stake in Wellington Airport. 

Councillors Ben McNulty, Nureddin Abdurahman and Green councillor Nīkau Wi Neera all alleged Whanau abandoned her progressive agenda. 

"I still have a good relationship with these guys, to be honest," Whanau told Wellington Mornings host Nick Mills. 

"They say [they don't trust me], but this is all political theatre, it gets the headlines, it's all good."

Whanau joined Nick Mills to talk about the long-term-plan, as well as her ADHD diagnosis, discussions for a Wellington super city, and the recent Wellington residents survey.
