What an idiot. Isn’t the city and land owned by the public? Last time I checked people who work pay for everything and government officials contribute nothing. Who is this person to tell everyone else what they can or can’t do. I am going to bring my own alcohol!

You are just wrong on so many levels here. First off, the mayor was elected! It is in his power to do this. It is called democracy not anarchy. There is no excuse or justification for bad behavior. Being a D head is not enshrined into the constitutional rights of any country. Get over it.

Reading these comments, I am so disappointed in people. You are not entitled to go into someone's neighborhood, mess it up and act like morons just because you can. What is wrong with you people? Didn't you learn to respect anything that couldn't beat you into the ground? If people acted properly like they did in "the old days" none of this would be a problem. Come on guys! Lift your game!

El Rata, When you are a guest in your friends house do you act like a moron? You are guest in this country so you should act the same, no?

GEEEZZZ you can't even get the grammar right in this article, "marking an 18.4 percentage points fall"..

POINT FALL. Please!! You don't there is no such thing as a plural adjective!!

Septim You live in a dream world. Japan is a creditor nation. Look it up! The world owes Japan trillions of dollars. If they downgraded Japanese banks to speculative, they would be downgrading the world economy to speculative. Get your facts straight.

What medical qualifications do you have that enables you to make a comment like this? Are you a specialist?

"And doesn't have the same mandated freedoms that US law requires"

Can you please be more specific about what this sentence means? You seem to be suggesting that New Zealanders have limited freedom which is patently untrue. This uninformed blanket statement amounts to US propaganda, not a comment.

You have a good opinion but the sign of a good teacher who really wants to help is his ability to listen to what his students want and ask himself "how could their opinion be valid?" It might make you a more dynamic teacher and make them better listeners and speakers. If you look into it, you might find that they are not half wrong. Try not to fall into the old "teacher knows best" trap.
