Listen to Campaign: Auckland 2016
Todd meets Vic Crone and asks what is she up to when she cancels up to half a dozen public meetings?
He meets two candidates who don’t think they’re getting a fair shake of the mainstream media stick – and have been critical of RNZ in this regard - Chloe Swarbrick and Penny Bright.
And talks to Derek Handley who's funding a poll on the election for The Spinoff website - he says Ms Crone's refusal to be drawn on the cause of climate change is worrying.
