A report appearing in the Radio NZ daily newsletter states:
“FNDC’s meeting schedule has been transformed so that meetings take place at times in the Moon’s cycle that are appropriate for their purpose. Council meetings used to be six-weekly, on a set day of the week. They’re now four-weekly, in sync with the Moon and within that on differing days of their scheduled week depending on what is most auspicious. Tepania [the Mayor] said diarising council meetings to fit the Moon’s cycles means better-flowing meetings. Tepania recently gained a Master of Education with first class honours. His thesis looked at the use of maramataka, the Māori lunar calendar, in education. Another new feature is the council’s tikanga-based te kuaka/ ea o Māori committee that started in October this year.”
We await with great anticipation a much improved service delivery from the FNDC, now that it has the benefit of lunar guidance! When interviewing the mayor, Sean Plunket referred to the lunar guidance as mumbo jumbo. He was being polite.
Local councils have become an absurdity. No wonder fewer and fewer people are bothering to take an interest in local politics.
