Marcus Lush: Invercargill City councillor on life in the job, diversity push - Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast

There has been much discussion in recent times about the diversity of our local councils, with Local Government New Zealand launching a campaign to ensure councils reflect the people they represent.
Currently only 14% of councillors are under 40 years old, with the average age being 56 - 60. The majority are men, while 41% are women. There's also a lack of ethnic diversity with 14% of representatives Māori.
Newstalk ZB Nights host Marcus Lush is also an Invercargill City councillor and he joined Kerre Woodham to discuss life in the job and the discourse around diversity.
