Who is getting the Auckland Council jobs?


My problem is how to get elected to Auckland Council, after serving time as an ARC Councillor and before that as a North Shore City Councillor.

But that seems to be a relatively easy task compared to getting a job at Auckland Council - if you're already employed by a Council!

Certain staff members out there are keeping careful count as appointments to the new Auckland Council and its CCOs are announced. They provided me with this bar chart which shows where these new staff have been appointed from. Interestingly, the recorders of this information have included "Watercare" in the "Other" category. This probably reflects the widespread perception that Watercare and its supporters are exerting an undue influence in the design of the new Council structure, and also on who gets the key jobs.


This graph is another depiction of the same data, which is the sum of ATA announcements, up to and including June 28th:

Jun 28 – Watercare appointments (ACC/Metrowater=2, MCC/ Manukau Water=1, NSCC=2, Other/ Watercare=2)
Jun 25 – AC appointments (ACC=1, ARC = 1, MCC=1)
Transport Appointments (ACC = 2, RDC=1, Other=1)
Jun 08 – Transport Appointments (ARTA=6, ARC=1, ACC=3, MCC=1, WCC=1, NSCC=1, Other=2)
Jun 03 – Executive Appointments (ARC=1, ACC=5, MCC=1, WCC=3, NSCC=0, RDC=1, Other=3)
May 31 – Executive Appointments (ARTA=1, ACC=1, Other=5)
Apr 30 – Watercare Appointments (ACC/Metrowater =3 FDC=1, MCC/ Manukau Water=2, Other/ Watercare (incl CE),=8)
I will endeavour to keep this record up to date.
