Scientists don’t (or shouldn’t) “have faith” in a hypothesis, far from it, we instead try our damdest to punch holes in the hypothesis.
My reference was to "Faith" in the method rather than any hypothesis

If National were allowed a conscience vote I don't think many of them would know what one was. A conscience that is.
Key's answer was, as usual, disingenuous. The question was not about the Auckland Region, it was about Sky City.David Shearer: Is he aware that Goldman Sachs has estimated—and obviously he is not—that Skycity would make $23 million to $28 million a year of additional profit from the increase in the number of pokie machines; if so, does he regard this and his changes to the Gambling Act as legislation for sale?

John Key said in parliament yesterday that there will, in fact, be less pokie machines in Sky City.
and that by the way, the number of gaming machines is going down, not up.
SkyCity to earn $42m a year in pokie deal
Goldman Sachs analyst Marcus Curley, who wrote the report, said the estimates were based on media reports of between 350 and 500 additional gaming machines.
In the house, no one can call you a liar.

However cutting personal and business taxes for our Atlases failed.

The plan isn't exactly to scale so it ain't easy to line up all parts at the same time. -
Ok, here's a jpg. Unfortunately jpg will not handle transparency but I think you can get a general idea from this.

I'm not sure if this will work but this is an overlay of Google maps over the old plan of Auckland. I used Gimp, it may work with photoshop.
The Google image is a transparent overlay and you should be able to adjust that.
Fingers crossed...

Crossed fingers are not up to expectations...
