Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Local newspaper Ponsonby News received a threatening email from Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown earlier this month after publishing an opinion piece by councillor Mike Lee.
In the email, sent on July 3, Brown said, “if you are just going to publish Mike Lee bagging me then your paper will die”.
"You know, I've been publishing and editing magazines since 1990, and I've never ever had an email like that," Leach told Andrew Dickens.
