Standing for Mayor By Frank Neill
Broadmeadows resident Ray Chung will stand for the Wellington Mayoralty at the 2025 local body elections, he announced on 13 May. The reason he is doing this, Ray says, is because “we are heading in the wrong direction. “We are spending money we don’t have to do things we don’t need.” Ray is currently a Wellington City Councillor, representing the Wharangi/Onslow-Western Ward. He was elected a councillor at the 2022 local body elections. “I believe that with the right leadership, supported by a team of like-minded Wellingtonians passionate about growing our city, we can overcome the difficulties we have and return to being the proud capital city we once were,” he says. The impetus for Ray deciding to stand for the Mayoralty came following a meeting sought with the Mayor relating to a Code of Conduct complaint laid by Deputy Mayor Laurie Foon against five councillors: Ray, Diane Calvert, Tony Randle, Nicola Young and Iona Pannett. The complaint alleged that they had leaked details about the council’s then secret Reading Cinema deal. After Deputy Mayor Laurie Foon laid the complaint the Mayor, Tory Whanau, hired lawyer Linda Clark to investigate the complaint. Ms Clark found there was “insufficient evidence to identify who leaked the information”. Her report on the investigation made a number of recommendations, including that a workshop of all councillors (including the Mayor and Deputy Mayor) was convened, under the stewardship of an independent trained facilitator, in which the complaint could be discussed and all grievances about it aired.
