University/Herald white-wash of history

The University of Auckland has a lovely heritage walk according to this fawning straight-off-Bill-Williams'-press-release Herald article.

And all in aid of the new Business school.

PPleeaaasse! Those bastards at the Works registry have systematically destroyed the University Precinct despite the best efforts of students and staff. The business school is what is replacing the heritage on Grafton Road that they have destroyed. It all used to be like a heritage walk until they ruined it with utterly unsympathetic concrete. And all the contracts keep going to Warren & Mahony...hmmm, how suspicious. Miles Warren was given a knighthood for his "Brutalist" architecture and Auckland University decide to make him a Patron bloody Saint! Shame. Key words: hypocrisy, corruption, accountability, urban planning disasters. Come on Mr. Rudman, (Herald civic whistleblower) this is a gimme.
