The issue of judicial activism isn’t going away anytime soon-that much is clear following the most recent intemperate commentary from Justice Sian Elias. Speaking at a recent Auckland conference, Elias’ outburst concerned judges pay and their early retirement age. It is an embarrassment for Helen Clark and Michael Cullen every time judges open their mouth but does that mean they shouldn’t? Bill Hodge of the Department of Law at Auckland University is on the Wire this afternoon.

If you live in Auckland you’ll have noticed that the CBD is experiencing the biggest ever upswing in construction. You’ll also have noticed that many of the buildings are god-awful. So is it easier and cheaper to build ugly buildings? How hard can it be to lift our game when it comes to urban planning? John Hunt is a Professor of Architecture here in Auckland and he also chairs the Urban Design Panel.
