In my opinion, it's sad and not unusual for comments to be taken out of context because some people don't focus on what is actually being said. If you are to note that the Mayor said: “there is some perception in the community that volunteers are seen as second class to the career / paid fire fighters. I do not support that perception....." you will realise that complaints about this part of his speech are unfounded.
So what about the inappropriate remarks made by him at the head of the table? He’s doing it all the time and people brush it under the table with the ”oh that’s just Nobby “ excuse!
Yeah he’s human but he put himself into the situation he’s in. His side are coming to defence then he jumps on that stupid page and takes the Mickey, clearly showing no remorse or respect. As for blaming “brain fade” seems crazy when these things were happening before the heart attack
Perhaps it would have been helpful to voters to have had a transparent and fuller profile of Mr Clark’s personal politics and views, loud and ever present and voiced within his role and function of mayor, rather than kept aside as personal and separate to his function and actions as civic leader representing a diverse community of diverse opinions . Put your personal interests and opinions aside Nobby: and every time you go out , literally put on THAT MAYORAL CHAIN. Maybe GET IT OUT, and wear it ? Because the weight of the mayoral chain might help you to function solely as Mayoral Representative of ALL Invercargillites and NOT Nobby Clark with personal opinion you have to espouse? Act ceremoniously:-) And if you need to put on a mayoral chain to do this, then do it ?
Did the Invercargill Mayor really just take a quote from the anti-abortion/pro-conversion therapy ‘NZ Free Speech Union’?

History repeating with that man, that’s all it is.
