To take someone's land against their will, or without even asking for it, is always theft, no matter how much compensation you offer them. Besides you can't get degrees of confiscation. It's either outright or not at all.<BR/><BR/>Besides it doesn't matter who you steal if from it's still wrong. For the government to steal from local government is just as wrong as for them to steal from you or me.Kane Buncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704180687328220148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1163974616001895472006-11-20T11:16:00.000+13:002006-11-20T11:16:00.000+13:00See that is why I recently said on this blog that ...See that is why I recently said on this blog that Act and Rodney Hide don't really support property rights and the likes. Because they contradict such a claim in this way. The Public Works Act is a blatant breach of property rights and shouldn't be allowed to exist.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link to the article. As big as it is I intend to read it soon.Kane Buncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704180687328220148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1163822926017186682006-11-18T17:08:00.000+13:002006-11-18T17:08:00.000+13:00C'mon PC, Rodney didn't really mean outright con...C'mon PC, Rodney didn't really mean outright confiscation of properties using that act, when he said it. He does mean to compensate with above market price for owners of the suppose affected areas. There would be a few houses, perhaps not more than 10. The vast area needed for the stadium could come from the domain, which is publicly owned anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1163820767625409732006-11-18T16:32:00.000+13:002006-11-18T16:32:00.000+13:00Corporate Auckland can see past partisan hackery i...Corporate Auckland can see past partisan hackery in the stadium debacle. Hubbard is looking to abrogate his responsibility, but still.<BR/><BR/>Your constant quoting of National Party shill, the pseudonymous "Whale Oil" does your credibility no good at all in these circles my friend. You are better than that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
