    IMO he should seize this as an opportunity to really really make a difference in Auckland.
    This is so so frustrating.

    $6 billion of land - just 2% pa return will give the council $120m a year.

    Soooo....Phil agrees that the port has to be moved as well.
    What are the options ?
    Westcoast is not viable.
    Firth of Thames....No go there for many reasons.
    What other options are there ? Seems only one viable one to me. And what does he want ? Another damm report !
    Jeeze...what a negative pr__k. Just because he hasn't been at the lead ? Or because he has some kind of vested interest in POA ? Real power struggle going on here. He'd have lost my vote if I lived in A and had voted for him. Right there and then.
    Fascinating.
    Phil Goff is a career politician. What else would you expect but piling on more consultants and reports?

    Could some kind person take Mayor Phil to one side and explain why the financial centre in London called Canary Wharf is called Canary Wharf.

    Is it because it was the main entry port for the canaries they used in the coal mines?

    Agreed or nearer to home Docklands in Melbourne. Googling Docklands old and new does the trick.

    The fat cat empire POA strikes back with its Auckland ratepayer paid NZIER report.

    Fatal flaw in the report is that there's no mention of how much Auckland and NZ is paying each year for the traffic congestion, roading & infrastructure spend and maintenance due to the Port being sited where it is.

    So lovely, isn't it, for the trucking firms and POA to be so heavily subsidised by everyone else?

    I have seen one Report which estimates the cost at $2 billion a year.

    Here's link to interview with Tony Gibson, CEO of POA. Everyone agrees the port should move and time has come, but no one is taking the bull by horns to make firm decision.

    Why it has to be a government political decision.

    Otherwise, it will be another 15 years when POA will argue it’s simply too expensive to shift and more harbour reclamation must be made to keep trade moving.

    In other words, keep the fat cats in their cushy jobs with cream on top.

    How did this idiot ever got into a leadership position?

    He has read enough reports to last 10 lifetimes on POA and he cannot decide on how and what are potentially the best options to shift the port to?
