Local Govt NZ had their conference and it's becoming clear that central government only likes local democracy when it's convenient. Cost of living and homelessness increases for everyone except the elite. The Epstein and McSkimming cases in the news prompt a discussion about power, broader political risks and perverse incentives in a hierarchy.
