    • Nice day for a (protest) picnic
      • 24 Feb 2010
      • The Wellingtonista
      • If you haven't heard already, the Big Tune-in Sit-in is on today from 1-2pm on Parliament lawn. Bring your portable radio and a picnic lunch to celebrate Radio New Zealand and its importance to New Zealand's cultural life. As Sue says over on her Craft2.0 blog: yup it's a protest picnic, which really is an incredibly classy and special way of saying how much you love our national broadcaster.

    • FAQs: The Real Answers
      • 21 Jan 2010
      • Save the Basin Reserve!
      • The NZ Transport Agency has provided some FAQs about the Basin Reserve flyover, which are an exceptional display of Orwellian double-speak - so we thought we'd boil off the weasel-words and provide the actual answers to the questions, as well as some questions (and answers) that NZTA would prefer weren't asked.

    • We respond to NZTA's disinformation
      • 21 Jan 2010
      • Save the Basin Reserve!
      • The NZ Transport Agency has created a few web pages about the Basin Reserve flyover, and it's pretty apparent they are trying to hide their real intentions behind some slick PR spin. Having looked at their Frequently Asked Questions and Orwellian answers, we thought it might be useful to provide the real responses to the questions.

    • The NZTA consultation process
      • 17 Jan 2010
      • Save the Basin Reserve!
      • Before Christmas the NZ Transport Agency began an "engagement process" with groups who are regarded as stakeholders in the Basin Reserve project. (This is euphemistically referred to as the "Basin Reserve Traffic Improvements", rather than being called a flyover. George Orwell would be proud.) In a series of meetings - which included the Save The Basin Reserve Campaign - NZTA outlined the next stages of the consultation process.

    • Save the Basin Reserve!
      • The Basin Reserve is one of the world's iconic cricket grounds, and New Zealand's oldest dedicated cricket pitch. It's an oasis of green space in the heart of the capital. But there is widespread community concern about the intention of three government agencies - the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) and the Wellington City Council (WCC) - to build a huge concrete flyover across the northern side of the Basin Reserve, destroying the atmosphere of the Basin Reserve forever.
