James made this Official Information request to Wellington City Council

The request was successful.

From: James

Dear Wellington City Council,

Today it was reported that Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau’s Instagram account liked comments suggesting Govt intervention is a ‘hit-job’.

Under the OIA please clarify who physically styled tapped the likes and subsequently removed the likes from the Mayor’s Instagram account.

This is relevant due to the Mayor’s speech detailing acceptance and unification of the council and its staff.

Please provide all communications if any, including but not limited to emails, texts, meeting details between the Mayor, her staff, and media regarding this issue.

Given the extremely straight forward nature of this request I look forward to a very prompt response.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

James
