Game, set, and match ;-)

or break down, unwanted dietary inputs?just putting it out there...

"if we had $8 million to spare, we would spend it in different ways".
I guess he's saying we can't even afford ambulances for the bottom of the cliff, too...
Maybe they could pay for it with all the fines collected from the small-business-crushing idea of permanent bus lanes on Dominion Road... that way the Supercity could be seen to be benevolent to the rest of the country...
