Hard News: Friday Music: Jean's Laneway, in reply to Jean Hughes,

Most blogs are just pissing into the wind unless they have access to the best possible money and connections to amplify their views.

A short pedestrian tunnel under Albert St from the very nearby Aotea station was suggested at some stage. Not in current plans.

Why does PA publish a column from a Labour Party spin doctor
Because Russell has long supported that party.
