Everyone in Auckland has an opinion on what should happen to the city's port.
 
Businesspeople want its ownership structure to change, the mayor wants it to move and citygoers complain that it’s an eyesore.
 
To make matters worse, the workers have faced years of safety issues and even deaths onsite. This has led to often tense relations between the union and management.
 
The man at the centre of all this is CEO Roger Gray, who joins Damien today to give a sense of what it takes to run Ports of Auckland.
