Can you please explain what is exactly this topic so I can change the subject to something meaningful?

Still, needs a meaningful subject. Not everyone is watching TV right now - and tomorrow morning a lot more people will have no clue...

Agreed. I'm not even watching it.

How about "poor nz programmr about an eruption" as the subject. I'm sure it's not that good.

Ok in short its a program on TV similar to the earthquake program about wellington being hit by a disaster (massive earthquake)

This one was a similar drama based on a volcanic eruption in auckland and looked at it from a few points of view - race wise.

Geonet had something to do with the making of it as I understand it

I would agree there, the final scene is looking from the Hilton to a point approx 100m into the harbour where the new vent is.
Before that they showed a pyroclastic blasting the CBD and bayswater, the final scene makes the area look untouched

Well when it happens, it's farewell supercity....

So is creating the Supercity simply the beginning of the end???

It was the end of democracy in many respects.

I only know one person who whose vote actually elected someone to the Auckland Council (not a local board).

FPP won again...and I suspect about 75% of votes cast for Council candidates elected no one at all. 

It should have been STV. FPP is garbage for electing representatives. The largest minority always wins....and with a lot of candidates, that may only be 20% of voters...or less.

Oh yes.  STV.  Vote for a  lot of pricks you don't want.  Look how long it took to sort out wellington with STV.  FPP is way better as far as I'm concerned..
