However, Wellington mayor Tory Whanau said the new information clearly showed that members of Vision for Wellington had
lobbied the Government around intervention, "despite previously denying this was the case".
She took a swipe at the hand several of the group had previously had in running the city. "It's important to remind them, and the Government, that they do not stand for or represent Wellington, and are partially responsible for some of the historical issues Wellington now faces.

This is such a cynical move, Bill English's government oversaw the biggest sell-off of state housing in history. He is on record saying he doesn't believe the state has any role in housing people. You couldn't find someone less qualified if you tried.

It's fireworks time in NZ. Fireworks should have a noise level rating, so we can no longer import the bangers and whistlers. The govt have band crackers, sky rockets and sparklers (?) So why not have a max noise rating. It would be better than banning all fireworks.
