As Craig is wont to point out most local body politics reporting by our "leading paper" fall into Mayoral candidate pissing matches or whatever bee Brian Rudman has in his bonnet.
Finding and pursuing these types of jiggery pokery shouldn't be that difficult rather than half page photos of Pippa Middletons arse how about spending some time and money with some thoughtful, inciteful analysis of matters that may be dry but have far reaching consequences for Aucklands inhabitants?
I had an idea all of this was waiting in the wings not because the Herald brought it to my attention but through this website.[full credit RB]
National gave this man carte blanche to pursue his agenda and should have to justify the resulting mess to everyone. A rush job by a moron in a hurry.
Where is the accountability? -
Hard News: Some Lines for Labour, in reply to James Butler,
Northern Busway ?
Much derided public transport can be a political hard sell, although late [for the bus],sorry, I think that Labour was starting to "get it"
Not so much our road building maniacs on the treasury benches.
NZ is starting to wake up to peak oil and our leaders should have had the knowledge and foresight to realise that more roads is not the mode that will see us through what may be a more constrained future as regards personal transport.
I agree with what you're saying but wish that longer term stratgies were being more vigorously pursued now rather than holiday highways etc.
When is someone going to call up J Key in regard of the much publicised national cycle track which got lost after he pushed the send button
All those weekend holiday homes are starting to become a liability with petrol over $2/l and rising. -
Hard News: Some Lines for Labour, in reply to James Butler,
Labour introduced a specific local petrol tax [aimed at benefiting Aucklands rail network] for just this purpose.
Who killed it on entering Parliament?
Hint the party name starts with an N and J K are the leaders initials.
I despair at some of the opportunities that have been squandered in the name of Ideology and political vote purchase.
Muldoons aptly named National Super spring to mind. -

Hard News: You know what ..., in reply to Craig Ranapia,
As to good taste in newspaper headlines that's a wide open field.
Utu as a description for US blood revenge doesn't seem too inapt. -
Hard News: You know what ..., in reply to Craig Ranapia,
Right or wrong I think Utu is a good description of Bin Ladens killing.
My understanding is that he wasn't the mastermind behind the Twin Towers murders but helped with the operation and soon became the public face of the attack.
The US has always proffered a bogey man to hate and he fit the bill nicely.[Ghadaffi might get his old job back]
Interesting to ponder how he'll be viewed by the history books in 100 years time. -
Up Front: Fairy-Tale Autopsies, in reply to Jo S,
