Looks like:
1) you've left out New Lynn as a 'major suburb'
2) We're related to waitakere city - hold on! I'm in Avondale and pay rates to Auckland City?
3) We have a population about the same as Palmerston North, or Rotorua + Timaru or Gisborne + Taupo + Whakatane.
4) We have more Maori and Paicifc Islanders than the entire population of Masterton.
5) We have more than 4000 "others"
6) Bugger all comments, links or councillors.

Lets face it noboby will even know where Whau Ward is let alone be able to pronounce it correctly ("Foe") with only 1 councillor.
