A claim Auckland's new mayor needs to get some more political allies.  

Wayne Brown has had a contentious first week as mayor calling for the resignation of Eku Panuku Development chairman Paul Majurey 

Auckland Transport's Board Chair resigned last Saturday night.  

Brown has also been reluctant to give interviews to media.  

Former Auckland City Mayor John Banks says he doesn't need to cater to journalists but told Heather du Plessis-Allan he won't be able to make change alone.
