Very much so. I'm not a mad keen freshwater angler, but have enjoyed visiting the lakes over many years.
That's about the size of it. I wasn't going to bring it up because a) it's a done deal, b) can't be bothered with anymore pointless forum arguments and c) the Kaipara District Council are the elected representatives. If they want to give their mandate away to an unelected body, then that's on them.
I didn't vote Labour. Never have and never will, but you're right in a sense, there is no point complaining.
EDIT: Never say never. If at some point I embark on a career of crime, dole-bludging and drug taking, I will definitely be voting Labour.
