Lawyer Will McKenzie is running in the Albert-Eden Local Board by-election after previously working as a policy advisor for John Tamihere.

Transport advocate and lawyer Bernadette Power is also in the race and has called some of McKenzie’s ideas “far-fetched”. “The policies we put forward were well reasoned and well researched, they were completely conventional policies,” he said. Power, who is affiliated to the left-leaning City Vision ticket, said she didn t look into McKenzie’s bridge proposal “terribly closely”.

City Vision has selected Bernadette Power as its candidate to contest the Maungawhau Subdivision of Albert-Eden Local Board at the forthcoming by-election.
“I will bring my experience as a lawyer and transport professional to the Mt Eden, Greenlane, Kingsland, Balmoral and Epsom communities”, Ms Power said. “In particular we have an exciting few years ahead as the Dominion Road light rail project looks set to start. We have a proud reputation as a highly skilled, delivery-focussed and community-led local board and I will strengthen that at a crucial time.”
“This area is diverse and cosmopolitan. It inspires me and is an asset to all of Auckland. As I both live and work in the area and my children attend local schools, I have an understanding of the issues facing residents. I look forward to representing the community on the Albert-Eden Local Board.”
