So that the Hurricanes franchise has suffered hundreds of thousands of dollars losses year after year of late, is due in part to a lack of newsworthy publicity and promotion on the part of the The Post.
Let's take last weekend's Hurricanes pre-season clash with the Highlanders in Dunedin. No build up to this televised contest The one review in The Post did not mention a single Hurricanes player or coach in the entire text.
That the Hurricanes are playing only two pre-competition matches while the other franchises are playing three or four is probably due to financial constraints.
Shame on The Post. But one must admit its days are numbered as a daily newspaper and worthy of being the metropolitan newspaper of Greater Wellington and the newspaper that succeeded The Dominion and Evening Post that one would buy in Nelson, Taupo, Napier and New Plymouth.
It has to be said that the Wellington Phoenix men and women football teams fare (a little) better in coverage in the sports pages of The Post.
Still no go.

Here goes for another shot at our water problems.

Mind-boggling. Fake.
If a referendum were held, I suspect 80% of locals would vote instead for open concrete culverts, raw sewerage pumping into the Hutt River, sabotaging Wellington and Porirua intakes and pipes, and regular managed cholera outbreaks.
Or to clone Mayor Guppy and keep staring the Central Government and Wellington Regional clowns down for decade after decade.

The only reference that I have noted was in 'The Post' on Sat 3rd Feb. The article refers to the suggestion that a dam be built on the Whakatiki Stream. This is a no no in my book for the reasons in my attached notes on the subject. GWRC has bought land at Kaitoke for off storage lakes and has done nothing about building them. Be interested to see what others think.
Please read my attached comments. I also ask the question. Has GWRC sold the building in Wakefield St that was considered an earthquake risk?
