A Wellington City Councillor says the Mayor's behaviour has become an embarrassment for the city. 

It comes after revelations Tory Whanau was publicly intoxicated at a Wellington bar two weeks ago. 

Whanau responded to the allegations saying she is a flawed person but is getting professional help with her drinking problem. 

But Councillor Nicola Young told Mike Hosking that Wellington can't go on hold. 

She said Whanau’s lost the trust of Wellingtonians.
