Tim Shadbolt is calling for urgent talks over muttonbirding,
as authorities prepare to confirm the Easy Rider
tragedy as being New Zealand's worst maritime disaster since
the Wahine in 1968.
Only one Southern local
body, the Invercargill City Council, has bought tickets to
the Rugby World Cup - and Mayor Tim Shadbolt is surprised at
having to pay.
Despite a term plagued by infighting among city councillors,
New Zealand's longest serving mayor, Tim Shadbolt, has won
the Invercargill mayoralty race for the sixth time.
He's tripped the light fantastic on Dancing With the
Stars, appeared on the big screen alongside Sir Anthony
Hopkins and now Invercargill Mayor Tim Shadbolt has a new
venture on the horizon - he plans to be an escort.
