Timothy Shadbolt

Sounds like a Harry Potter character

Sounds like a Harry Potter character

He is the mayor of Invercargill (and NZ's longest serving mayor) and looks like the kindest man alive (he literally cannot stop smiling).
He's also an independent who used to be part of the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis AND NZFirst.

To quote the profile I gave of the People’s Tim:

He (or his public persona [1]) is a delightful loon who spent the 70s on a commune and became known for writing a book on concrete, and has spent 29 of the past 36 years as a mayor.

I think his entire personality can be summarised with an anecdote from when he went on our rough equivalent of Mock the Week, where one panel member asked him "Bill Clinton said he smoked marijuana, but never inhaled. Tim, is it true that you never exhaled?"

[1] Shadbolt's first wife has accused him of beating her throughout the 1970s and 80s, and while she has forgiven him and believes he is remorseful, it casts a very dark pall over a jovial buffoon.

Since this was written, Shadbolt has increasingly come under fire from his local council colleagues for erratic behaviour on the job, which is widely speculated to be some sort of mental decline (or a treacherous plot by disloyal councillors, depending on your view).

Regardless, he’s done a lot for Invercargill and has certainly earned his devoted following - it’s just becoming a question of whether he’s not outstaying his welcome (compare heroes of the Global South’s other liberation struggles).

That's 7 Days, I'm guessing? Struggling to figure out that's Dai Henwood or Paul Ego asking.

He still exists in my cultural shorthand because of those Southern Institute of Technology adverts where he plays cricket. Kinda shitty to hear about the wife-beating.

I think you can learn a lot about Tim from the fact that his only steady jobs have been Mayor and Driveway Concrete Pourer In West Auckland, both of which require significant levels of good humour and tenacity.

And both occasionally, since we’re talking about West Auckland, involve encasing an enemy’s feet in concrete.

Kovalenko/Blair had some wikiboxes on the other place with Daniel Webster winning elections against a satanic/occultist Calhoun and Hussein Obama.

Correction: Calhoun won all the elections,Webster just made New Hampshire the only place in the USA that the Devil isn’t allowed in.
