Aucklands underground systems have been built for the 1/4 acre section, not high denistity complexes. The systems already failing over waster water disposal. Isnt it some thing like 300 miles of piping going rusty. Whose going to end up paying for that not housing NZ.

I have to agree with Hone on this one! The Government has a 'Dictatorship' attitude which most of us are fed-up to the hilt with...you don't kick people out of acccomodation without housing them in other accomodation first. I think I would have been arrested too for standing up to Housing New Zealand. I was raised in Glen Innes back in the 60's when my Dad had to work 2jobs just to make ends meet. So I do know what I'm talking about...I have visited the area on a few occasions over the years and it looks absolutely run down maintenance wise which is the responsibility of Housing New Zealand they need to make sure that their rental properties are kept to a desired standard...every family should have an opportunity for decent living standards...well they failed in this area! So I support Hone for standing up for a good cause.

I too am surprised at the softness of the Police on Hone. What happened about him (Hone, urm John) being roughed up by the telephone book? Hone, go back to Northland and crawl back under a rock and let others, and you know who I mean, fight their own battles.
