Tania Tapsell: Rotorua mayor pushes back on suggestions she's sneaking policy through to give council more powers

Rotorua's Mayor is pushing back on suggestions she's sneaking policy through to give the council more powers. The Rotorua Lakes Council has voted to progress a policy to remove public submissions if they're deemed offensive, discriminatory or irrelevant. The Free Speech Union says it's a clear violation of speech rights, and a breach of the Bill of Rights Act. Mayor Tania Tapsell told Mike Hosking all submissions are still accepted and seen by council. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
