  Couple of rather stunning Variable Oystercatchers at Waikato bay (next to Matai bay) at the beach yesterday.

  What gets me is the kind of institutionalised cynicism that banks on that attitude, embodied by Brownlee, who seems happy to, as Mike Coleman has put it, “absorb the hits”.

  What crisis? says Brownlee

  Make clear to them the consequences of continuing to not do their jobs.

  And what would that be? . This Governments incompetence got Nicky Wagner elected. She stands up in Parliament and blathers on about how happy Cantabrians are with their mammoth efforts in Chch. How does anyone argue when the new stadium is fixed? It’s about their National sport ,right? Feeling good now?
  This government moves numbers around on bits of paper, that is their solution. People and their lives are just a ridiculously small part of the equation (unless you are of the chosen few). They are probably in the skinny sundries column called “belt tightening”. Nactional have given to Christchurch what Rodney Hide had dreamed up for Auckland and both local Councils are pretty much redundant.
  I watched Lianne Dalziel be belittled by Brownlee because she dared to complain. He cited her bias because she was a red zone insurance complainer. He pulled out and announced her financial details. “How dare she” he roared, she continued and for once Lockwood sided with her over Brownlee. Dalziel may have had a personal interest but she stood to represent local Cantabrians, who are suffering. Brownlee doesn’t give a shit. Even before the earthquakes, didn’t Canterbury developers have cosy real estate deals with local government?

  ETA What Joe said. Yeah.
