Has #VisionForWellington voiced through The Press their disgust at the #FerryFiasco?

#NickyNoBoats' maritime mishandling will surely see Wellington businesses suffer.

Aren't conservative cabals too busy working for better services to have their media minions pettily sniping elected officials?

Did #VisionForWellington elite lobby group member and owner of The Post Sinead Boucher let one of her right wing mates write the list?

I didn't spot the story on the StuffNZ or ThePost website to check.

The #VisionForWellington elite group want power to speed dial politicians and demand what they want (as Gazley tried with Simeon Brown) but w/o doing the hard mahi of listening to people and reading detailed reports and finding best balanced path forward. No Rights w/o reponsibilities! #NZpol

Ian left Wellington years ago for a better life. Fair enough but why do outsiders need to tell us how to do better? Wellington could do with more people happy to put energy into supporting not ruling our city. #VisionForWellington think they have all the answers so why would they listen to people?

Peter Biggs says #VisionForWellington want to see #Wellington flourish. He's a Wairarapa resident with a Wellington flat not a day to day local.

Myles Gazley sells cars. Their view of "a flourishing city" may not suit those of us who walk or cycle or use #PublicTransport.

There's systemic racism and there's casual racism. Fran may not be individually racist but would she seek to change unfair systems? Both women are more personally inclusive than Bob but I see nothing in #VisionForWellington that speaks to collaboration with diverse groups or listening to Māori

Are #VisionForWellington united in wanting a #Wellington for rich white people? Or is it only Sir Bob Jones who likes putting down Māori?

What of Kerry Prendergast, Fran Wilde, Therese Walsh, Neil Paviour-Smith, Sinead Boucher, Phil Royal, Peter Biggs?

The Post's owner signs up to new Wellington pressure group Two top US papers copped backlash when billionaire owners interfered in election coverage. Mediawatch asks if the boss of Stuff could compromise her own company's coverage in Wellington.

#VisionForWellington lobby group claims to be apolitical with goals of "Building a city people want to live in, ensuring it's financially sustainable, providing world-class infrastructure".

Their vision doesn't include cycleways or diversity.

No real interest in a #VisionForWellington or #Wellington Future. Focus seems to be how they or their businesses can benefit. Like VfW member Peter Biggs who left NZSO role after complaints. Little diversity in #Entitled group. #NZpol
