Little Blue Penguins Plucked and Toasted - Te Kopahou Two Years On
- Keith Johnson
- PENGUINS GIVEN THE BIRDBack on March 1, 2010 I ran a story with the title ‘Te Kopahou (Red Rocks) Reserve - Experts take on Penguins’ about the battle that was then raging in the Environment Court here in Wellington about an application by the Wellington City Council to rezone for residential use some land at the entrance to the Nature Reserve.

Wellington City Council – Little Miss Muffet and Pinocchio
- Keith Johnson
- Just to follow on a little from my previous story about the Te Kopahou (Red Rocks) Reserve and the alleged treasonous behaviour of the voting public in Southern Ward in wanting to preserve its integrity. At the Strategy and Planning Committee meeting that I attended a couple of weeks back, senior Councillor Andy Foster (who is a sort of Pinocchio look-alike Muppet) laid it on heavily that the community owed the Council for the $750,000 that it had spent in purchasing the obsolescent Owhiro Bay Quarry for the Reserve.
