      • 13 Feb 2012
      • Te Papa's blog
      • Kapiti Island is one of New Zealand’s premier bird sanctuaries. It is home to nationally important populations of little spotted kiwi, kaka, North Island saddleback, stitchbird and North Island robin, as well as other threatened bird species. The island was considered to be free of all introduced mammal pests after rats were eradicated in 1996. [...]

        • ‘Tell that to the members of the public who were sitting, lying, playing, on should I say “green grass” introduced to Civic Square for the World Cup. Ditto to those familes watching the sheep races etc on “green grass” at Waitangi Park and the wood choppers entertaining the public on “green” Frank Kitts Park on Saturday. As a submitter to Wellington Towards 2040 – Smart Green Capital the suggestion that I was committing to the Green Party is nonsense. Why did the Councillors who suddenly found the word “uncomfortable” and “disconcerting” not speak up before the document went out for submission? I certainly do not find following the green, red, orange lines etc at Wellington Hospital disconcerting…..rather comfortable than uncomfortable. With such thinking, radio and TV stations will have to ban any song or advertisement before the elections that has a reference to colour, ie Blue Skies, Green Hills of Home, Red Rose in the Sunset, Orange Cone County, as they may be “disconcerting” to voters. ’
        • ‘…and that’s because the word “Green” has been hijacked to mean whatever specific barrow is being pushed by a vocal minority… bio-diesel and other alternative fuels have long been known as “Green”, but now the “green movement” has decided that all roads are bad, all private vehicles (unless they are bicycles) is bad, and only public transport is good. “Green” growing meant growing your own foods (whether or not you needed to add nutrients/fertiliser to your soil), now it must be Organic to be “green”, etc.. It is easy to have success while being “Green” but it is nearly impossible to have any progress while following the dictates of the “green movement” where using technology or science/ having personal wealth/showing individualism = BAD, living in the past/being poor/socialism = THE ONLY WAY TO BE GREEN. I choose to have a reasonably eco-sustainable life, but I’m not “Green” because I have different political views to those who call themselves “green”. ’

        • ‘In September 1994, the Karori Sanctuary Trust committee went public with their proposal to develop the sanctuary. Under the heading of cost they wrote “There would be no call on ratepayer funds.” Clearly their financial forecasting has been totally inadequate. Over the last 15 years, other ecological/conservation projects in Wellington have been starved of cash and have had to battle on while watching all the grandiose hype at Zealandia. And for what overall ecological benefit to the region? It has been disingenuous for the Sanctuary to claim that the increase in birdlife in Wellington is due to their efforts. I have yet to see the evidence that all of Wellington’s tuis originated from their small valley. I think a lot more credit needs to be given to the very effective pest control that has been undertaken (coincidentally since the inception of the sanctuary) by the Regional Council. ’
        • ‘@Vryn – “interest free loan of $10.3 million to Zealandia should never been permitted and is a complete waste of this City’s finances”. Am sure you will agree that the Kilbirnie sports centre was also a complete waste of money, when Hutt City could build a similar one for under 7 million dollars without using ratepayers’ money. Ironically, the same Andy Foster had opposed council spending money on this project. Also, the council advanced an interest free loan for the Westpac stadium. Should that also never have been permitted? ’
        • ‘The deafening silence from Karori city councillor Andy Foster is noted. Considering he was one of the prime motivators of the Karori Sanctuary, he typifies a politician who is adept at spending up large with public funds … That WCC (i.e. ratepayer) interest free loan of $10.3 million to Zealandia should never been permitted and is a complete waste of this City’s finances and will be a never- ending liability which even Cr Morrison admits. The richly paid COE of this city should have had the ratepayers’ interests foremost and advised against any more fiscal involvement. Since when has the WCC become a banking institution dishing out interest free ratepayer money like some fairy godmother ? Unfortunately, all the emotive clap-trap about establishing this financial disaster overcame hard cold facts insofar as ongoing financial needs both short and long term. ’

        • ‘Just to reinforce what my fellow contributor said, we’re non-partisan – but we definitely have our own points of view and intend to be clear about that. I don’t identify with or belong to any party – but I have strong opinions and I doubt anyone would want to read a sopping wet blog that sat on the fence. (excluding members of the Labour Party obviously… ) This blog is broadly about keeping an eye on local govt and the goings on in and around Wellington. We will call out stupidity, nonsense and the great things we see regardless of who or what body says it. We also now have multiple contributors and as you have probably gathered, we have our own differing perspectives and this will come through more and more. ’
        • ‘Jolly good, thanks for replying. There’s so few sources for local body politics information, and it’s important to know that the theme is non-partisan. ’
        • ‘Good question! No. Let’s have a look at the quote in question… “The city and the council need good leadership and some decisiveness and some action. We’re the centre of the region, so we should be leading the pack, not following.” This is not a matter of ideology – its just basic leadership. No doubt in the coming months John Morrison, and the other mayoral candidates, will announce their policies. Then we’ll be able to take a proper look at what they are promising, and judge them accordingly. For the time being, I don’t think wanting decisive leadership is a particularly right-wing trait. ’
