Letter to the Editor: A great business opportunity, courtesy of ACT

This item in the NZ Herald caught my eye today,
.
.
Which led me to a few thoughts on the issue,
.
FROM: "f.macskasy" SUBJECT: Letters to the editor DATE: Sun, 02 Mar 2014 10:16:00 +1300 TO: "The NZ Herald" letters@herald.co.nz.
The Editor NZ HERALD . ACT's new leader, Jamie Whyte, wants to dump the Resource Management Act (RMA). He claims that, "There are far too many powers currently being given to various times of groups and bureaucrats around the country to interfere with people and the use of their property." Excellent idea! I can hardly wait to implement a few start-up businesses; * a full scale brothel/strip club on Paretai Drive, complete with ten metre tall neon signage of naked women, * a series of fifty story apartment blocks throughout Epsom, Herne Bay, Remuera, etc, which will look cheap and nasty, but will offer low-cost one-bedroom flats for low-income families desperate for accomodation as the government sells of state housing, * a tallow factory on the North Shore, * and a tyre-disposal plant - complete with furnace to burn shredded runner - next to Mr Whyte's residence. For far too long, the RMA has prevented setting up factories and controversial businesses, in the leafy subsurbs of middle class and affluent New Zealand. Mr Whyte will do away with all that. About time, eh? -Frank Macskasy (address and phone number supplied)

ACT, Jamie Whyte, Resource Management Act, RMA
Gold!
And while we’re at it:
* an ICBM silo in Tamaki which will cement our commitment to the War on Terror.
Oh very good, deepred!
Heh heh heh… nice one, DR.
This could be a fun after-dinner game to play; How to Annoy Your Neighbours under a Post-ACT Government…
Jamie Whyte was on Radio NZ this morning stating that even if the RMA was done away with, people could still use “nuisance laws” to try to curtail unpleasant/unwanted activities.
Which begs two questions;
1. Why do away with the RMA if peopole can still “hinder” activities they opposed?
2. Who will pay high legal costs to take private prosecutions against unpleasant/unwanted activities? And will only the affluent be able to “protect their patch”, whilst lower-income areas are impacted by unpleasant/unwanted activities?
As usual, ACT’s policies create more problems than solve.
Maybe some Chasers-style hoaxes would be in order?
I’ve beed advised that the Herald published the letter! Woohoo!
Good news Frank!
