Hand over the keys

How long can this circus continue?

I am not talking about the one from Moscow in town at the moment.

I am talking about the circus some are calling The Nightmare on Elms Street.

Is it by design or sheer irony that there are big billboards and banners up promoting an upcoming election and even bigger banners and billboards promoting a circus.

Could it be they are one and the same?

Perhaps the answer to Elms Street and the elections are to be found in the circus and it is time for us to send in the clowns, because that is what we are dealing with.

For far too long the tail has wagged the dog on this kaupapa and if you can't come to a consensus what to do with 11 Elms Street, may I offer a suggestion.

Give it to Te Tuinga to look after. We have some homeless whanau who whakapapa – connect to this piece of property and would love a warm whare to call home.

If ever there was a classic case of hitching one's political aspirations to a hot potato, then surely what Councillor Curach is doing is taking the whole sack of spuds for himself.

Please TCC let me know when we can pick up the keys for 11 Mission Street.
