A majority of Aucklanders appear to be on board with at least sell-offs and cutbacks at Auckland Council.
Newstalk ZB can reveal more than half of submitters and survey participants believe there needs to be some spending cuts, but most support only some of the possible cutbacks.
A majority also support selling off council shares in Auckland Airport, but opinion is divided on whether that should be all or just some of the shares.
Mayor Wayne Brown told Mike Hosking the results show the public understands the council's predicament.
“It is encouraging that people seem to understand that I’ve inherited a bit of a mess and that the mixture of things that we’ve offered does show a way out with giving a little bit of a haircut here and there.”
