		<description>Tena Koe, nga mihi mahana,

Isnt it great to have some time out from, what seems like the never ending teduim of  beauracratic complaisance and hoops and loops that most of us have to jump through to satisfy the allocation of our own taxpayers money, we are the most heavily taxed country in the world.

Registered Charities now have to provide annual financial 
reports, to satisfy the charities Commission and the Govt that accountabilty has been acheived and maintained.

This is fair enough, but where is the same from the GOVT and Govt agencies, where is the accountabilty for our taxpayers money
and where is the real opportunity to affect major decisions that effect everyone of us on a day to day basis.

Its a new decade, time to make the significant changes in the governance of the country, whats good for the goose is also good for the gander, where are the annual reports, and why is that major decisions are still being made without a majority of public consent, such as new taxes or the raising of existing ones.

Hey hello thats just the way it is, we cant change it.?

We need to change it asap, not by endless rounds of select committees, but by demanding that our hard earned taxes are being spent on innovation and new sustainable Industries.

Kawea Ake te Wero, lets step up to the challenge by demanding accountablity and better processes of inclusive decision making.

The other option is not an option.

		<description>Ah yes, West Shore. Beloved and I had a picnic there on Boxing Day by the beach. And when I say &quot;by the beach&quot; I mean we were on one side of a 4m high shingle stopbank, while the beach was on the other side, slightly out of view. 
We hadn&#039;t been out to Haumoana and Clifton for quite some time, so went for a drive a couple of months ago. I was genuinely shocked just how much the erosion had eaten away towards the road. 
I&#039;m waiting to see how long it takes some bright-spark estate agent to use the now almost literal term &quot;indoor-outdoor flow&quot; when marketing a property there before they get beaten with their own &#039;for sale&#039; sign.</description>

		<description>nice to see the erosion of our Cape Coast being acknowledged...I spoke to Lawrence the other day about the &#039;Managed Retreat&#039; plan...ie , where do we retreat to? Apparently I&#039;m over thinking it...they&#039;re going to sit back and watch while the 4 Square Clifton Road corner gets washed away...then they&#039;ll bulldoze everything in a one km radius (nicely gutting the community).
(...while Napier builds a beach wall at Westshore no doubt.)
So we don&#039;t retreat so much as just...go.
Great Plan.
One would&#039;ve thought a few stategically piled  Akmons would be a bit more civilised.</description>
