A Kaipara councillor is wearing Mickey Mouse T-shirts at council meetings over what he says is “the worrying state of democracy” in his political organisation.
Councillor Mark Vincent, from Whakapirau, says democracy is fading at Kaipara District Council (KDC) and it is fast becoming the “black sheep” of councils.
“I am learning to overcome my embarrassment about being a Kaipara District Councillor,” Vincent said.
“I’m part of an increasingly Mickey Mouse outfit.”
