I agree with the idea of residents only car parks with the addition of some kind of solar powered or hay driven loop bus to drop off the slacker tourists who are too lazy to walk or cycle TO the cycle / walk way.
Probably if it hadn’t been given the blockbuster name and overhype the inevitable dystopian nay sayers would have stayed quietly under their little dark clouds.

"You were there to do a certain thing for us."
From memory it was a tax cut for the better off, paid for in the following years by taxing the rest with a GST hike and by dismantling,or privatising, public services and by racking up debt.
The reinvention is likely to be another tax cut, more likely than managing prosperity for the whole country.

Speaker: Abortion: morality and health, in reply to Iain Thorpe,
Ian it's politicians applying what is simple minded morality to very complex problems that upset me, especially when members of the same party make (or intend to make) morally contradicting law, which only common feature is in circumscribing women's freedom.

Paula Bennett making it harder to have a baby on the DPB, while Chester Borrows is trying to make it harder to not have one. Who said morality was easy, linear or logical? I fucking hate these people.
