Speaker: Why all the fuss over six trees?, in reply to Bluesky,
pointing percy at the proletariat...
it is about priorities and the complete lack of meaningful public consultation
Same thing in Chchch - just one case in point: Victoria Square
sent in to fix some 'slumping' CCDU wants to spend $7 million, needlessly...CCDU has done little to explain in any detail why the large-scale changes it is proposing are necessary. Now, rather late in the game, it has cottoned on to the widespread opposition to them. Although it claims to have consulted before releasing them, the consultation did not involve the wider public, a gap it now proposes to fill with what it calls "engagement".
quote source
Here's the reason why Warwick Isaacs just wants 'engagement' :CCDU director Warwick Isaacs said yesterday he preferred the term "engagement" because "consultation" was a statutory process. He assured the public CCDU was genuine and willing to change its plans.
"This is not a hollow engagement. We think taking a little bit of extra time will not do us any harm. It's a good thing to listen to what the public has to say and to take them into account."I see a t-shirt coming ...

Once there was an Hawaiian king whose hobby was collecting thrones, which he stored in the attic of his hut. Unfortunately, this hobby became an obsession, and greed got the better of him, when the weight of the thrones in the attic caused the grass structure to collapse. The thrones ended up falling upon the king, killing him instantly.
The moral of this story: "Those who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones."Once again I originally heard this on one of Dennis Norden's radio shows...

Speaker: Why all the fuss over six trees?, in reply to Glenn Pearce,
trees a crowd...
The largest of those trees overhang GNR significantly.
...and in light of this attack on an innocent bus by an arboreal antagonist - well all trees should be felled...

The problem then is can a senior insurance manager be considered reasonable and that the setting of the sun is a force majeure.
It could just be their mindset, insurance companies are f**king lots of people in Chchch, one way or another - perhaps it is just a case of karma running over dogma
(or possibly dogme in this case) -
People in glass houses…
Can a place of work be a ‘dwellinghouse’?Peeping or peering into dwellinghouse
(1)Every person is liable to a fine not exceeding $500 who is found by night without reasonable excuse—
(a)peeping or peering into a dwellinghouse; or
(b)loitering on any land on which a dwellinghouse is situated.
(2)In this section the term night means the period commencing on the expiration of the first hour after sunset and ending at the beginning of the last hour before sunrise.I think a similar case of some one using a device to look into an office came up on PA some years ago…
and then again there is this:
Indecent exposure
(1)Every person is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months or a fine not exceeding $2,000 who, in or within view of any public place, intentionally and obscenely exposes any part of his or her genitals.
(2)It is a defence in a prosecution under this section if the defendant proves that he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that he or she would not be observed.ends up as reasonable grounds for divorce possibly…
Though I do feel there was a huge lack of empathy on the part of those who posted the videos in the public domain – smacks of self-righteous vigilantism or lack of thought about consequences (well, all round on that one)….
It’s the old ‘don’t be a dick’ rule really – technology allows us to do stuff too easily that a little a thought might preclude…

where’s Fay Weldon when you need her?
She’s hardly to be relied on…
her reminiscences of her first 15 years in Chchch are picked apart here
and I’m wondering if she was remembering an early ‘Eat an Egg a Day’ promotion in NZ, There was a club and everything, I think I have a badge somewhere , but I think that was the ’60s and she left in 1946, and the campaign was in the ’50s. – maybe it was the same campaign, us being the colonies and ten years behind and all… -
