BANNING CARS UNDEMOCRATIC Your correspondent D R Stubbs is correct. The unilateral decision by self-appointed Tupuna Maunga Authority to ban access by cars to several Auckland volcanic cones, with Mt Eden already included, is totally undemocratic.
These parcels of land belong to us all. This decision is yet another example of the continuing out of control behaviour of Auckland Council, where agreements to a situation such as this are unreasonably influenced by the votes of six unelected Maori representatives.
How can this decision possibly be allowed to prevail, and why is there not a public outcry ? If a vote of Auckland ratepayers was taken, there would be an overwhelming majority to immediately reject this spuriously based decision. H LE G, Remuera.

PARADISE LOST New Zealanders had these, and have been taking them for granted. * Clean waterways.
* Responsible conservation of the environment.
* Equality in justice, respect for human rights, and fairness.
* Affordable education and health resources for all.
* For most, the benefits of having English, probably the greatest of human languages, as a first language. * A government that not only belonged to the people, but was run by the people, for the people.
It was so precious New Zealanders fought in two world wars to keep it. These are all going, going ... She'll be right. Yeah. Nah. M M Maungakaramea
