Wayne Brown outlines hopes for Auckland in updated manifesto

Auckland's mayor is calling for more leadership - and labelling the city's innovation and tech sector 'random'. 

Wayne Brown has laid out a to-do list for central Government before it releases its Budget this month.  

He wants a tourist bed tax, looser transit visas, and more preparations for major population growth. 

Brown says a bed tax would fund bigger projects he has planned for the city - and he's hoping the Government will reconsider one.

"We've just had two-thirds of the Aucklanders thinking it's a hell of a good idea to get some funds in to watch big events - and the hoteliers up here think it's a good idea."
