Wouldn't it just be about the way the govt treats the power of international banking and insurance corporates compared with most NZ citizens? With a separate side of local pork.

I've seen talk of detailed seismic forecasts being released only to the insurance and financial sector. There was publicity earlier in the year about Brownlee refusing to release geotech data to homeowners and their representatives, but being more than happy to hand it to re/insurers. I'm sure there are arguments in favour of that, just as there are for more openness.

In another ten thousand years, I expect all of this will still be true, perhaps the beach will be slightly sandier.

I’m disappointed in the Herald’s angle, ‘the Greens are to blame’ for Waitakere.
Trevett's claim about what the Greens were telling voters is also fanciful. As is her downplaying the more definite message in Epsom.
The Green Party candidates made it clear in marginal electorates that they were campaigning only for the party vote - an indication supporters should give Labour their candidate votes. That message was picked up by some.
...The deal between National and Act to ensure Act's survival meant Epsom was the most controversial electorate battle, including the now infamous cup of tea between John Key and John Banks. That was seen as a nod for National voters to vote for Mr Banks.
"Seen as"?
