Meanwhile there has been debate about the merits of the spending cap on super-city mayoral candidates.
Under proposed legislation, those seeking the job would be allowed to spend up to $580,000 during the official three-month campaign period.
The current cap is $70,000.
North Shore Mayor Andrew Williams said it was a staggering increase that would mean only the rich or those with the support of political parties would be able to stand.
Under the bill there would be no limits on spending before the three month period.

That's an increase of $510,000, say these candidates spent $70,000, but had the potential to raise that much more, giving it to charitys in the area would surely boost their profile (and be better spent).
