Episode description
Gore District mayor Ben Bell made history in October last year when, at the age of 23, he was voted in as the country’s youngest ever mayor.
But his tenure has been fraught with scandal and conflict so far, with his relationship with his chief executive Stephen Parry deteriorating to the point a mediator had to be called in.
For this special bonus, Georgina is joined by NZ Herald Christchurch senior reporter, Kurt Bayer, to discuss what has happened here, this week's extraordinary meeting and what happens next.
