Summarised by Centrist
Invercargill Mayor Nobby Clark publicly apologized for using racial and homophobic slurs, breaching the council’s code of conduct. He had been censured twice, first for using the n-word at an Art Foundation event and repeating it on a satirical TV show. Clark’s apology followed a council vote narrowly rejecting his resignation and aimed to address the negative impact of his actions on colleagues and the community.
