Sinopse

People Choice and Labour candidates are being accused of spreading misinformation and negative campaigning. Central Ward candidate Jake McLellan sent residents a leaflet saying "it's about listening to communities not property developers, unlike other candidates who are in their pockets."Several city residents told Newstalk ZB McLellan's comments are the "height of hypocrisy" given People's Choice councillors turned up to the opening of the Riverside Market built by private developers. Current city councillor Mike Davidson says "this is just another example of negative campaigning that a number of People's Choice Candidates have made during this election."He says a People's Choice candidate made incorrect statements about him during the campaign. Mr Davidson says "I guess one of their values is not honesty."LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW ABOVE
