Although one of the arguments is that the government wouldn't be paralysed if there's an earthquake in Wellington. This lot being paralysed would give the rest of the country room to breathe, and you have to like the chances of a quicker civil defence response with Chris Carter out of the way.

Because then people could grumble metonymically all they want without offending any of their nice Wellingtonian friends?
No. Because we're already stashing all the government's documents there. Might as well save a bit of toing and froing and move the rest of the infrastructure there as well.

I'm not wanting to thread-jack and I'm sure there'll be opportunity to discuss this at some point on a more appropriate thread - but where does she think all these jobs are going to magically appear from when we're still in a recession and we've got the highest unemployment figures in years?
Not only that, but they are failing to put in place all the incentives and the measures that a conservative government with a shred of competence and conscience would feel duty bound to provide. Deborah has put this rather well I think.
"The dream is over". What an utterly horrid, contemptible person the Minister is. Of all the things that the Government has done in the last six weeks or so, this is the one that stymies me the most.

Well? Ington!
I'll always be partial to Wellington Schmellington.

then either the honourable members are really very stupid
I wouldn't underestimate that possibility. If nothing else, this cabinet really does come across more and more as a barely competent bunch.
