- Opened this week with princely aplomb, the symbol of New Zealand’s self-sufficient justice system, ironically begins its life with Royal approval. The local architectural opinions though have not been so benevolent towards this Primo Supremo architecture … but - as I heard from one friend the other day - WaM are big enough and ugly enough to take a bit of criticism … so let’s start with the crowning glory of the building - that hulking bit of welded bronze trying hard - but not succeeding - to be a pohutakawa-ish screen.

But most of all, a giant bronze Crayfish cage plonked down on Lambton Quay, with a pinecone stuck inside. Oh, there is too much irony in the world to waste time with platitudes – knives and forks ready – let’s get stuck in.
