      <title>Killing Kāinga Ora</title>
      <link>https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=164268</link>
      <description>The Luxon-led government continues its attack on anything that the Labour Party ever managed to do, with the release of news about the Kāinga Ora housing projects. Most of them, it seems, have been killed off. “Brakes put on more than 370 Kāinga Ora housing developments nationally”. In Wellington the following projects are stopped: Arlington redevelopment and Evans Bay Parade, with other projects stopped in the Hutt, Naenae, Wainuiomata, and Porirua. The list says “paused.” But I know a dead duck when I see one.</description>

      <title>Death threat for kororā of Shelly Bay</title>
      <link>https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=147645</link>
      <description>Shelly Bay is an important nesting site for Aotearoa’s endangered little blue penguin, the kororā. When the Wellington City Council granted resource consent for the Wellington Company’s huge luxury housing development on this site, it accepted the word of ‘experts’ Dr Roger Uys and Brent Tandy that ‘the adverse effects on little blue penguins/kororā will be avoided, and are likely to be less than minor’. As we now see, these views were demonstrably incorrect.</description>

      <title>Protecting the town belt (again)</title>
      <link>http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=137666</link>
      <description>The Wellington City Council wants to turn our Town Belt into an amusement park so that the city can be “revitalised.” If the council is successful, there will be nothing stopping a music festival, a beer festival, and a host of “vibrant” activities attacking our city’s most precious natural environment, in pursuit of the mighty dollar.</description>

      <title>Selling council housing is not the answer</title>
      <link>http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=136763</link>
      <description>The Wellington City Council made a peculiar decision last week, unanimously. In one resolution there was a good decision, and then a bad decision undermining the good decision.  The good decision was that the Council supported advocacy to the Government for financial assistance for those most in need of rental relief through an income related rental subsidy (IRRS), available to state housing tenants, but denied to Council tenants.  The bad decision was that it resolved to begin a process of getting rid of its exemplary award-winning Council housing and to start a distracting and entangled process of slowly but sur</description>
