- 8 Apr 2010
- Wellington Scoop
- What do you do if you own a waterfront events centre which has been reviled as looking like a Soviet ablution block?

Yet this is exactly what the owners of the building are talking about – “expanding the capacity” as “a possibility.”

- 9 Mar 2010
- Wellington Scoop
- It’s a great idea to put a Hollywood-style sign on the Miramar peninsula. But it’s a dreadful idea for the sign to use the cliched “Wellywood” word, which does nothing except show that we are hankering after older and bigger film industries rather than having confidence in our own identity and our own name.
