Dunedin City Council

Dunedin's seven mayoral candidates hit the campaign trail last night, and rather than firing up with political rhetoric, acted so politely they were praised by chairman Ivan Criglington for their respectful demeanor.

Dunedin's election campaign ignited yesterday, with mayoral candidate Cr Dave Cull fending off accusations he and fellow Greater Dunedin candidate Kate Wilson voted for the Forsyth Barr Stadium in 2008.
