Might be common knowledge for some people on this forum. But thought others might be interested in attending this talk hosted by the Young Greens.

Julie-Ann will give a brief history of transport in Auckland focussin on the economic, regulatory, and land use patterns that have driven our car-dependent development.

Ohh, that looks good...
Goals for 2010:
1). Get rid of one of my girlfriends
2). Join john-ston and hate the MULs
3). Buy Steven Joyce a gift basket whenever he says the words, "positive, economic, rail and investment" in the same sentence

Neither can I - with all the school kiddies on Exams, the number of available shifts at work has skyrocketed, and as always, I am keen to make an additional buck
