There's an added problem with the Queens Chain - Erosion.
Redcliffs waterfont in Christchurch used to have a public walkway but its either been built on or fell into the estuary.
A few rambler types have tried to claim Queens Chain and walk across the waterfont properties and been given the bums rush.
On the flip side to public access is Rotten Row in Taylors Mistake & the other batches in Boulder Bay. The next bay over from Sumner Christchurch.
All private holiday homes cobbled together on public land, originally without any land rights. They're now considered part of our Heritage and worth protecting. A deathnail in itself - look for condominiums coming soon;) -
Lily Allens song raises the spirits of the oppressed other (being gay)and dismisses the validity of the attacks they experience.
The limit to dialogue comes in around the time that one party wants the other party not to exist (rather than Lily wanting bigots to change their mind or grow a heart). Not all views are equal or valid.

"But is simply playing nice going to settle the issue?"
Wow, so due process and good faith aren't any way to treat Maori?
Let's remeber alot of our coastline is in private, even foreign hands and they can contest their rights in law, but not Maori.
This came from the pommy mayor of Marlborough successive denial of aquaculture applications in the Marlborough sounds to Maori while allowing subsequent applications to non-maori.
