$100 million for a tent

[Mully]

One hundred million or not Key's vision of 'Party Central' and the subsequent cockups that have followed is a 'glowing' example of how Key and his ministers are managing the country.

I was wondering where you were.

Mallard's idea of a waterfront stadium that could double as a cruise ship terminal was equally shit. The concept showed a laughable grasp of the security requirements that international ships (and passengers) demand, and would have meant (again) that the one chance that Auckland had not to cock-up Queen's Wharf would have been fucked up.

I think that the decision to throw away the "development" in the short term is a fantastic one - I'm not giving National credit for that particularly because i simply don't know who made that decision.

The "Party Central" idea had merit - albeit a much too short-term view of what to do with a fantastic asset in the middle of the City. Also, there was a much too short lead time to do anything meaningful.

I'd much prefer they shut-off part of, say, Queen St every night for a nightly "party-central". (It wont happen for the same reason the V8 race never happened - all the NIMBYs will waaaaa (tm) about it.) Or set-up a temporary "Party-Central" in Victoria Park for the duration.

Great idea. No need for expensive developments (facilities already exist, localised bulk policing in case of trouble) and the 50 mill that the govt were gonna put in (figure heard during radio interview 1 months ish ago) can go towards a few hundred doctors, or nurses, or police, or teachers or or or for the next 10 years.

The concept suggested last night was to do it simply.
1: Bowl over the old sheds and shit on the wharf.
2: Astroturf the whole place.
3: 5000 BBQ tables + 5000 hay bales for seating. (optional: those big electrical cable holding wheel things).
4: 1000 open fire brazier-thingammys.
5: Licences for mobile pubs to set up and pump beer.

It works for Oktoberfest.

Would be good to have a few sheep wandering around because:
it would be a talking point,
Honda riders would have a sure-fire date for the evening,
it would get a load of the wooly fuckers off of the roads, throwing themselves in front of bikes!

I think you missed the Lib lab's in the above. I had wanted to post an icon here but they have gone missing along with my images.


Shit slinging?? Yep but KB would not be KB without it.

I wasn't talking about KB (at least here noones "life" is at stake when a decision is made). I was talking about your politicians... oh and sorry for the Lib exclusion, it must have hurt you deeply.

[Skyryder]

Yea like i'm bleeding all over.

With Mallard it was the owners of the land that put the kybosh on his stadium.............Key's cockup was the result of his own misfortune is that the opens his mouth for a soundbite and that's as far as it goes. Mind you it does make a change from lying so I gota give him a little bit of improvement..............at least he has not been caught at it lately.

It's rugby-oriented, who gives a fuck?

And once again the politicians tell lies,a news item said no there won't be a tent.Think it was Murray(I'm a hair model)McCully who offered that gem.
