A while ago we (Phil, Leanne, Jess and I) went on a great trip to Matiu/Somes Island with our sister, making it a four-Howison outing! I took a few panoramas. What can I say, it’s just kind of my thing I guess! :-) View over Wellington overlooking the lighthouse View of Petone from the WWII [...]

Matiu/Somes Island Panoramas
Posted by Luke H on February 21st, 2011RMA Idiocy
Posted by Luke H on June 30th, 2009The Dominion Post reports this morning that a coastal access road near Cape Kidnappers has been half-destroyed by coastal erosion. The astounding thing is, nature didn’t do this – the RMA did. Nearby land-owners identified the problem three years ago and tried to protect the road by building a barrier, at a cost of $10,000.

Ban It
Posted by Luke H on August 24th, 2008Warning: If you are a Greens supporter, you probably shouldn’t watch this. You should probably try to ban it. Look to the Libertarianz for a party which doesn’t want to ban everything they don’t like, or make everything they do like compulsory.
Utter Destruction
Posted by Luke H on June 6th, 2008Imagine a beautiful and peaceful land where hundreds of native species thrive amid vast tracts of native forest … The peace was shattered when humans arrived. Hundreds of colonists begin hunting and killing the birds and burning the forest. It takes them less than a century to kill off at least 18 different species of [...]
Great white sharks: Protect or privatize?
Posted by Phil on February 11th, 2007This was a comment in response to noizy on Ban, ban, ban, ban… where will it end? I hadn’t really thought about this issue (although PC, controversially, discussed it last year: Protecting a predator) so I decided to expand it into a post. Privatizing marine resources is a really interesting idea, and it turns out [...]
Privatize the parks!
Posted by Phil on October 8th, 2006A recent study has apparently put a dollar value on Fiordland National Park – NZ$228 million per year, to be precise. Given that it only costs $9 million to run, this makes the land extremely valuable. No wonder the Libertarianz’ policy is to privatize the park. The government and most left-wing and environmental groups would [...]
