It would seem to me that implementing a system which flouted the PRA and the OIA (however unintentionally) is not a legal state to be in. A formal notification/complaint to ArchivesNZ, the Ombudsman and the Auditor-General would seem to be in order, and perhaps a written question to the Minister concerned. You might wish to channel the qeustion via a member of Parliament, which could carry more weight in getting it considered. ~mark

The problem I have is that I can't fly a flight sim to save myself :-) so all I can capture is my inevitable stall and crash. ~mark

NZTA are still being very cagey about what they release and when. The best so far is still on their site at http://www.nzta.govt.nz/projects/mackays-to-peka-peka/resources.html Don't be fooled by the pretty "visualization" - it's not strictly accurate with regard to hights and such. But this is probably not the forum for that :-D Check out www.savekapiti.co.nz for more info. ~mark
