The Nelson City council and it talking parrot the Nelson Mail, also utilise another major piece of diversionary spin to deflect attention away from themselves and their outright rejection of democratic and legislative process.
That diversionary tactic is to characterise their critics as being opposed to each of their pet vested interest projects.
They further characterise that opposition as being anti visionary, anti arts, or anti sport, or anti progress, or whatever label they can hang on their critics, to create dissent and division, in an attempt to hide their own deceit and deception.
But I have never seen any criticism, based simply on any form of anti sentiment or specific dislike, of any community of interest, or of a particular project, per se.
What is being loudly voiced, is total opposition to council's blatant rejection of constitutional democracy, and statute.
What those critics vehemently oppose is the ignoring of legislation, that is involved in imposing their vested interests on the community.
They oppose the insane economics, the pork barreling, the imprudence, the recklessness, the rape of the public purse, the disregard for the economic well being of the ratepayers, all to achieve minority vested interests.
If council actually did things properly and prudently for once, they might even carry the community with them, and their critics might even support those projects.

- This blogspot is born out of a deep democratic concern about the continual political spin and the outright manipulation and suppression of information by local government and local media. In my view that rampant disinformation has become so extreme that it can only be considered grossly deceptive. This blogspot attempts to provide some balancing transparency to that situation. Hopefully it might even help keep the "buggers" honest.
