(N.Z. Press Assn—Copyright} AUCKLAND. Jan. 7. The Auckland City Council got more than it bargained for when it asked for public comment about its new planning scheme. “We could buy Queen Elizabeth II Park from Christchurch and sell Wellington to the Japanese for scrap metal, so that they could sell it back to us in the form of modern art,” wrote one citizen. “Turn the Town Hall into a poker machine and you will get money to burn,” wrote another. Members of the planning review team are still scratching their heads over a submission that ended: “People are not elephants.”
