Mayor of Rotorua

The Mayor of Rotorua officiates over the Rotorua Lakes district of New Zealand, which is administered by the Rotorua Lakes Council (RLC), whose seat is in Rotorua. An elected borough council first came together in February 1923; prior to that, the area had effectively been under government control.[1] Rotorua has had 14 mayors so far, and the current mayor is Steve Chadwick.[2][3]

Members of Parliament

Four mayors have also been Members of Parliament, and all of them represented the Rotorua electorate (the years in brackets give their term in Parliament):

gollark: There's also not a file manager by default *either*, I think.
gollark: I don't think there's a voice recorder by default, though that may have changed.
gollark: Android is weirdly lacking in a bunch of features without extra apps, generally.
gollark: <@514958719784583188> You probably also can't make it in the browser because of CORS. Basically, websites are prevented from sending requests to other websites unless the one they're sending to explicitly opts in.
gollark: No, I mean you can't run it on the client side in a web application. You can run Python programs if you download them, but not "on a webpage".
