Hard News: Friday Music: Making a list ..., in reply to Simon Bennett,
Monday January 11th 2016 – Jamie XX is playing the St James, Auckland. Can’t wait!
Shit, how did I miss that!?

Speaking of the blubbery one ... it looks like it's not a happy ship over at Whaleoil Industries.
The schadenfreude, it is unavoidable.

Hard News: Victoria Crone and what…, in reply to izogi,
I hope someone can immediately snuff this out, but with Auckland’s leadership at stake does she have any significant connections with the Dirty Politics crowd, and can any interference from that side be expected?
The short answer is (1) No, and (2) No. Michelle Boag is among those backing Crone and Slater hates Boag. Crone’s also the kind of business leader Slater can’t bear and is of course associated with his new enemy Drury.
I won’t help Slater out by linking to him, but he’s already well into a vendetta against Crone – albeit one he seemed to soften a bit yesterday. Lord knows what goes on in his mind.
-
Here's one serious problem – another one baked in during the central government-controlled transition process – that Crone would seem well-qualified to address: the serious risks in Auckland Council's vast, expensive NewCore information services development.

Okay folks, I've culled and sent the long list off for processing. Voting starts soon :-)

Hard News: Change for the Better, in reply to Sam F,
I honestly find it easier to just ride up Chinaman's Hill sometimes. You get to skip the irksome ramp to Newton Road that way too.

Hard News: Change for the Better, in reply to BenWilson,
(well except that for about 3 months they just used the stretch of it past St Lukes Rd to park digging machines and diverted all bikes up a whole bunch of suburban hills to get across what was a 100m downhill cycleway stretch before – I don’t know if this is now fixed).
This is still the case. And it really is some bullshit. Especially given that they'd undertaken not to disrupt the cycleway during the motorway-building.

Hard News: Art with a job to do, in reply to Matthew Hooton,
Do you see how haughty and arrogant that makes people towards their fellow citizens when they attack so pretentiously the fern-based designs that so many people chose? And also out of touch with the country in which they live?
Your entire argument seems to consist of a demand for people to change their opinion of a design to fall in line wth the majority. You haven't engaged with a single practical, aesthetic or social concept explored in the post. It's getting more than a bit dull.

I also have the godlike ability of the moderator to amend my posts at will :-)
