Queens Wharf

About the only thing Auckland’s seven mayors can agree on is that they don’t want some rushed, below average Queens Wharf development in time for the World Cup. But are central government listening? No.

John Key was ‘dissapointed’ that Auckland’s mayors couldn’t agree on one of the proposed developments. I feel that Auckland’s mayors are in a much better position to decide what Auckland needs rather than John Key. For once, it is nice to see that local council is trying to save money by not agreeing to something they don’t think is right. And Mr Key is dissapointed in them? I hate to think what kind of influence central government will have over the new Super City Council and Mayor.

Ahh ACT, You’ve Done It Again

ACT MP David Garrett has common sense!

NZ Herald reports: “Mr Garrett yesterday suggested parents with a history of child abuse should be given a $5000 incentive to be sterilised”

Reading that was like a breath of fresh air. As per one of my previous posts, it amazes me that its legal for parents with known abuse/drug/murder convictions should be allowed to raise children. Its idiotic.

Criminals are breeding criminals. This needs to stop.

Rugby World Cup TV Update

Nearly all of NZ’s free-to-air channels will be showing the World Cup matches. Some people have no idea. Thats going to be just great for tourists visiting New Zealand and wanting to watch the games on TV, they’ll have to go through three channels plus SKY to find they game they are wanting to watch.

To make matters worse, Maori TV will be the main channel, broadcasting all of the free-to-air games, I can see already all the pro Maori bullshit they will be promoting in the ads. Why can we never seem to get things right here?

I know I’ll be watching SKY.
