Is Opposition to a Hospital a Sign of Insanity in Planning Laws?
Stuff - Business: 8-August-2022
OPINION: In Douglas Adams’s classic Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series, Wonko the Sane realised that the world had gone mad - he had seen the instructions on the side of a packet of toothpicks.
So he built a wall around his beachfront property, decorated the outside of it, and put up a sign welcoming visitors to the Outside of the Asylum.
In a world going increasingly mad, I had thought New Zealand could do well by hanging similar signs at the airport. “Welcome to New Zealand: the Outside of the Asylum.”
But would a sane place layer three years of consenting and appeals processes onto a hospital expansion during a pandemic?
