Despite
the efforts that monorail proposer Bob Robertson (now the
sole remaining director of Riverstone Holdings) is looking
to garner public support and influence Nick Smith, Minister
of Conservation, he continues to either contradict previous
statements or produce statistics void of substantiable
facts.
An Opinion Piece from Bill Jarvie, Chair of Save Fiordland. He says Robertson is following a predictable strategy:
‘When floating a highly controversial project,
with questionable economics, employ one of the
following
tactics:
a) Endeavour to lift support by inflating the
opportunities.
b) Overstate the level of “support”
for the project.
c) Promise the community shared wealth,
even if such is contentious.
d) Dazzle the
audience/public with big numbers and promises of “jobs and
money”.
e) Portray any detractors as marginal and/or
fringe.
f) If desperate, all of the
above.’
