    It's obviously a metaphor for the food industry inflitrating and subverting from within your means of meaning making. Liminally.

    I would say move just the large bulk operations (containers, tank farm) and leave the smaller scale working port in a more accessible form, as I understand other well-designed waterfronts do.

    Zoning would restrict residential development from following the support industries - just as it works for the freight-forwarding cluster at the airport. I think that may have also been part of the siting logic - that lots of the associated commercial infrastructure and workforce are relatively nearby, with a direct rail link to join the main line at Manukau.

    I'm not attached to any particular outcome, but it's a relevant conversation given the tussle for assets (especially the port company) that will follow restructuring of Auckland's local bodies. We already know they're moving the tank farm, so maybe that's enough?

    I thought it was villainising lawyers? Easy target, surely.

    will it appear anywhere else?

    Hopefully not, for the sake of our international reputation. What we need is more of that nice Mr Key reassuring lenders that the 90s are alive and well (ta, DPF).

    In order to do anything, we need to move the Port; but to where?

    Somewhere near Howick/Clevedon was mentioned about a decade ago as a suitable spot with deep enough access, but I don't recall any details.

    So first-four-ships is shorthand for old-moneyed honkies then?

    I heard some time after my own brief stint in the flat southern city that in Christchurch it's what school you went to, in Welli it's the suburb you live in and in Auckland it's your job. Or your car, or something like that.
