Wayne Brown tells you to "f*ck off" 😳

We were on the fence about sharing this, but I think you should know what Wayne Brown has replied to the requests by our supporters for him to join hundreds of incumbent and prospective Mayors around New Zealand and sign the 2025 official Ratepayer Protection Pledge.

In short, Wayne Brown sent us a message in response to Aucklanders respectfully asking him to sign the Pledge.

Here's what he said:

Wayne Brown Response

Friend, telling ratepayers to 'f**k off' for asking him to commit to entirely reasonable positions is incredibly telling.

Even if he doesn't agree with keeping rates to inflation – he's thumbing his nose flicking the bird at committing to council spending transparency, and voting against more unelected appointments to council committees.

So much for "fixing Auckland", Mr Brown! 💩

Friend, voting turnout is extremely low – which means your vote matters more than ever. With less than 10 days to go, make sure you have voted, and please make sure you've voted for council candidates who have done the honourable thing and signed the Ratepayer Protection Pledge.
