Christchurch Sacks The Wizard
This is seriously fucked up. How, in these times of pandemics and looming global recession, is a modern city like Christchurch supposed to get by without a wizard on the payroll?

Quote:The Christchurch City Council will stop paying The Wizard $16,000 a year after more than two decades on the public payroll to “provide acts of wizardry” for the city.
The Wizard of New Zealand, also known as Ian Brackenbury Channell, said the council had decided to stop paying him because he did not fit with the modern image of the city. Over his 23 years on the payroll, the council has paid him a total of $368,000.
“They are a bunch of bureaucrats who have no imagination,’’ he said.
