Turns out Wel­ling­ton City Coun­cil­lor Bry­an Pepper­ell isn’t sure about the authen­ti­city of the moon land­ings. On his face­book page, he states…

The moon land­ings are an open ques­tion. Hav­ing worked in pho­to­graphy in the 1960’s I’m still try­ing to fig­ure out how the films sur­vived 280F. There are more unanswered ques­tions but is it a crime to doubt???

The “film would have melted on the moon” idea is one of those many bits of evid­ence pulled out by moon-land­ings-were-a-hoax con­spir­acy the­or­ists, which, when reas­on and sci­ence is applied, is quickly debunked.

Bry­an would also appear open to the idea that the Israeli intel­li­gence ser­vice – Mossad – were behind 9/11 (hav­ing shared this video, also from his face­book page).

Who knew we had such an, er, ‘open-minded’ rep­res­ent­at­ive on our coun­cil seats?
