Yes I am arrogant, my wife tells me that all the time!
"Intelligent" forum members reading my post understand I'm taking the piss out of myself and other rich pricks,
And when I explain how the system works and benefits me it just makes people angry instead of wanting to understand how it works, members prefer to insult me.(admittedly I enjoy it sometimes).
Thank C@#%t you have let on your secret to Aaron & he can now get on with what should have been more important to him
Govt appears intent on blundering into another completely avoidable disaster (like the Cycle bridge) with its stubborn insistence on imposing an Erebos Memorial on a site where it is not wanted and creating a lot of anger & resentment.
Despite the Ombudsman having started an investigation into the suspiciously flawed planning process, and a Rahui being placed over the site, contractors have been told not to wait before starting massive earthworks which will probably have to be reversed.
Over $1M of the $3M budget has already been spent without a spade being put in the ground.
Increasingly, Labour seem to have these blind spots & displaying a clumsy defensive stubbornness, unable to admit mistakes & improve agile decision making.
Apart from the small lawn area families use for picnics or just to enjoy the view, in Sir Dove Myer Park being destroyed, the memorial will have to face the wrong way (i.e. North instead of South), the site has historical significance to Ngati Whatua & hardly anyone wants it there including Erebos family members.
On the other hand, a site at Western Springs near the aircraft museum is not only suitable & appropriate, but they want it there.
So how do certain personalities in the Ministry of Culture & Heritage respond?
With complete disregard for the communities wishes, a stubborn refusal to admit the whole thing is a mistake & having to waste precious police resources to impose it anyway.
And why? Because Adern made a promise the Erebus Memorial would be built before the 40th anniversary (2019) of the Erebus disaster (which has long since passed ).
Why would anyone with half a brain even think pushing a memorial into a place where it is going to cause only anger and resentment, when there is a great alternative would be a good idea!
A memorial needs to be a quiet place of contemplation & reflection, this will be anything but if they insist on its current site & will never work.

Jacinda Arden declared 2019 to be the year of delivery so since then I have been tracking their delivery every anniversary of their election. Feel free to share.

Depressing, but yes - facts talk so much louder than the constant repetition of silly personal attacks, which some others on this thread indulge in.
Thanks for sharing - good checklist for the next election.
