Why was Suki Turner made a Dame? Normally only long-serving mayors of the major cities would be considered for a titular honour.JohnC (talk) 21:02, 1 August 2009 (UTC) The convention in New Zealand for quite a long time has been for Mayors of Dunedin and other larger New Zealand Cities to receive a Knighthood or Damehood after thery are elected for a third term.

I am interested that Suki Turner is described in historical terms as New Zealand's first Green Mayor. I have had a long interest in local government in NZ and while her green credentials were well known, I do not believe she stood as a Green candidate. Aardean
