Hard News: Spring Timing, in reply to Idiot Savant,
Adams' press secretary has provided some answers, and it appears she has behaved ethically in regards to Central Plains Water.
Seems like she has actually paid some attention to the conflict, yes.
As for the wider issue of the Canterbury dictatorship, I'd still like to see some answers on that.
A few comments later in that Standard thread, someone points out this January 2014 Chch Press story:
Canterbury's elected leaders recently met Environment Minister Amy Adams to discuss the Crown's ECan review this year
Doesn't really sound like staying out of it.

Stuff-all use when they bite your friends, not your enemies. Totally agree with Gordon Campbell on this:
One would love to have been a fly on the wall as Cunliffe’s new chief of staff Matt McCarten discussed this matter with Jones.

mass migration has fuelled a nasty real estate market
No, it's a tiny factor. Our skewed financial system and investment culture are mostly to blame.

what cultural differences do you think existing Kiwis might have trouble accepting from more recent migrants?

the question of whether more diversity is a good thing
is fair enough. Seeing more heat than light here though.

It might seem like an easy thing to say that diverse population is more resilient, survives better. But unfortunately that's not necessarily true. If the environment is highly stable, the opposite scenario is very likely, certain types will almost certain dominate very rapidly, whenever they gain a survival advantage.
However, our world is not 'highly stable'. And there's no zero-sum Darwinian thing going on either.

Maori were right to be upset over colonisation (in some ways but not in others)
Ooh, do tell.
