Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau believes she still has a majority of one vote in favour of selling the council's stake in Wellington Airport - but told Nick Mills she isn't sure if the next vote will succeed.
"We check it every week and people flip-flop. That's the problem."Â
The controversial idea passed during the council's long-term plan vote but will come back to the council for a second vote in December.
Multiple councillors now say there is a majority against the vote.
"It's going to be really difficult. Just like the [long-term plan], it takes a lot of political management," Whanau said.Â
"It's been a yes up until this point. We have councillors who have changed their mind, you have to ask them. If they want to be irresponsible with our finances, that's on them."Â Â
"I don't understand why you don't interrogate them as much as you interrogate me."Â Â
Whanau also spoke to Nick Mills about the state of roading changes on Thorndon Quay, the idea of a New Year's Eve party on Courtenay Place, and the state of Wellington Water.Â
