She began by asking what is a banking hub.

Following our local election coverage, mayoral candidate, Genevieve Forde, joins to discuss her vision for ​a sustainable and environmentally friendly Tāmaki Makaurau. 

Forde's key ideas are around reducing the pollution created by transport. She’s looking to transition our buses to electric buses, incentivise the use of public transportation by making it free and, potentially increase rates in order to pay for the transition towards a more sustainable Auckland.
