Auckland Council should jettison at least some of its airport shares to balance the budget, according to more than half those who made submissions on the mayor's controverial proposal.
The city has a $295 million hole in its books. Wayne Brown's budget recommends selling off council's 18 percent shareholding in Auckland Airport, trimming arts spending, and raising rates to cover the shortfall.
More than 40,000 people have voiced their views on the plan - a record number of submissions to council. Auckland's deputy mayor Desley Simpson talks through the details with Lisa Owen.
