Late to the party I know but good read about this otherwise mysterious councilwoman. TBH I know nothing about her, I noticed her face billboards in Christchurch a few years ago and it only mildly peaked my interest looking at an ethnically Korean young and attractive face. Not your everyday stereotypical politician.
Onto your point, she has 2 rather well paid jobs bearing a lot of responsibility. Because she works 3 / 12 months, 25% of the year, campaigning, that leaves her only Thursday and Sunday* during, to deal with jobs which most likely pile up (her inbox probably), otherwise have to work like a demon, which leaves her pulling more load than she is capable of.
* (That calendar brochure, has a big typo right? I assume the last two entries were supposed to be Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th of September? If we are going off the pamphlet, she takes Thursdays and Sundays off.)
Given the poor results of the CDHB, your observation is probably correct. However may I also offer that she is young, and seems determined, maybe she can pull of such a Herculean effort, but she would need some serious form of management and delegation, I don't know if part of her wage goes toward paying others to work for her. Your assumption being part time is probably right, and work may be getting left undone.
I'd love to see her working schedule and be able to rate her real productivity, and see how she does it. Maybe she can teach me how to manage 2 1/2 jobs at once lol!
You wrote: I don’t see how 8 full days is “mainly after hours”. When you said 8 full days, this does not mean 8 consecutive days, am I right?
Who knows what her work ethic is like, versus the amount of useful productivity and difference she makes? Is she achieving anything and making peoples lives better? Figuratively speaking, is she streamlining things, oiling the cogs, and keeping the economic machine humming along nicely? Is there any evidence what she is doing works? Or is she in charge of a mess or let things slide, or give minimal effort to what she does. Or is she burning out and setting unreal expectations for other future candidates, Has she got something to prove? What the hell is her agenda? Make heaps of money and work your ass of whiole young then give up, by age 35 to settle down with kids and a house? Lol - We can both speculate my friend..
I'm a populist. Bring on the business boss types. A Trump, Leighton Baker, <insert your favourite person of choice who matches the following> <wo>men with real world experience. Someone who got ahead as a successful business type, so at least they understand, at an instinctual level, what works, what doesn't, and how to manage people and how to delegate. Believe it not, some people *can* do the impossible and run multiple things well, at once, but again, you are probably right about, having no life, does not sound like someone who has it under control (and I note your most recent article :p)
On on to a weird tangent here, if I may -
I'm curious what you think about Benjamin Price, Dale Stephens & Duncan Webb and who would you pick among those three Christchurch Central candidates, in a matchup. Thanks!
