One of NZ's more 'colourful' characters. 

 

Mayor for 27 years, which is a pretty impressive feat, even if at the end there was some controversy. 

 

Rarely seen without a smile or a chipper attitude.

He didn't care where, as long as he was mayor...

Met the man years ago when he was Mayor of Waitakere city. Can't say I was impressed, seemed as dumb as a bag of hammers and his family appeared to be out to make whatever they could from the position. Never understood why anyone voted for the man.
