Parliament mined, fossils detected
I glanced out my window this afternoon and was alarmed to see Parliament lawn swarming with menacing figures dressed in white suits and armed with metal detectors, seemingly prospecting one of New Zealand’s finest heritage sites for minerals. read moreSeptember 16, 2009 4:13 pm - 18 Comments -
Cyclists frock up for a safe climate
On an awesomely clear Saturday in Wellington, around 150 cyclists gathered on the waterfront to show their support for the 350.org campaign and better cycling infrastructure, and to celebrate having fun on bikes while saving the planet. Cyclists of all persuasions showed up, from glamourous frocks on bikes through to the lycra set, families with [...] read moreAugust 24, 2009 11:58 am - No Comments -
5 reasons to vote Russel + get more muscle in Mt Albert
Faster cheaper buses and trains will do more to cut congestion than another motorway. Aucklanders want to swim in clean water at their beaches and breathe clean air. Local government can be local and it can look after museums as well as footpaths. Smart Green ideas like home insulation means we use less energy and don’t have to [...] read moreJune 12, 2009 10:12 am - 102 Comments -
It ended miserabLee….again
More self-inflicted wounds for National’s Mt Albert candidate Melissa Lee yesterday when an attempt at humour went wrong. She had to explain that a suggestion to shoot the media was not hers – it was someone else answering email on her behalf (really, your honour, I wasn’t there). Fortunately, a lamington stole the spotlight, but here’s the [...] read moreMay 26, 2009 1:59 pm - 26 Comments -
Oakley Waterfall – Oasis of Calm under threat
Tucked away in a valley that seems a world away from the concrete and asphalt of Waterview Straight is a spectacular local attraction. Oakley Creek Waterfall cascades into Oakley Creek, its distinctive roar creating a dramatic ambience. Green Party Co-Leader Russel Norman’s guided tour along the Creek opened his eyes to its fragile ecosystem. Wendy John of [...] read moreMay 26, 2009 11:12 am - 4 Comments -
Russel and Katya at Pacific Music Awards
Green Party Co-Leader Russel Norman and his partner Katya Paquin enjoyed attending the 5th annual Pacific Music Awards at the Telstra Clear Pacific Events Centre in Manukau City on Saturday night. Russel’s attendance was noted in speeches by Pacific Island Affairs Minister Georgina Te Heuheu and Vui Mark Gosche. And Niu FM’s Sela Alo – a [...] read moreMay 25, 2009 3:43 pm - 1 Comment -
Melissing the point
A lot has been said already about Melissa Lee’s comment that the motorway would keep South Auckland criminals out of Mt Albert. While she did eventually apologise, I was surprised to hear her comment when she was pressed on the issue by Auckland University students yesterday. “You guys are students so you obviously don’t watch television, I’ve [...] read moreMay 22, 2009 6:20 am - 45 Comments -
Bradford’s Truth – Mt Albert, motorways and Melissa
My regular column in the New Zealand Truth: The Government’s decision to go ahead with the Waterview motorway extension will certainly be doing nothing to help National’s chances in the Mt Albert by-election. If it goes ahead, the Transport Agency’s preferred option will see 365 properties demolished and $1.4 billion squandered on a motorway slashing through the [...] read moreMay 21, 2009 9:29 am - 22 Comments -
Greens win in historic by-election
Could this historic Green win in Australia over the weekend be a portent of things to come in Mt Albert? The Greens’ historic win in the ALP stronghold of Fremantle hinged on Liberal voters out to punish Labor, WA Opposition Leader Eric Ripper says. Greens candidate Adele Carles made history with her victory in Saturday’s Fremantle by-election, [...] read moreMay 18, 2009 10:29 am - 4 Comments -
