Speaking The Unspeakable – Voicing The Unheard

NZ Automobile Association Top 10 Cities.

without comments

The Automobile Association release  of the latest newsletter ‘Destination New Zealand’ has attracted shock and outrage from the Christchurch  Civic leaders  at failing to be placed on the list of the ten places to visit in New Zealand.

Christchurch City Mayor Bob Parker is said to have expressed his opinion that the AA’s list demonstrated the ignorance of the AA.  However perhaps the arrogance of the Mayor, really reflects the Christchurch City Civic leaders in their quest to spend money on cultural awareness at the suffering of the citizens of Christchurch who are already culturally aware.

He is quoted as also expressing that the AA should stay with helping old ladies with flat tires. That is a Mayor whose arrogance, self importance and inflated ego is a disgrace to what is one of New Zealand’s great cities.

The AA does an extraordinary job of quality across the board for all travelers through New Zealand, New Zealanders and our valued tourists, from flat tires, rescue, accommodation, quality maps and advice. The AA should be congratulated at high lightening the following cities. It is just a general opinion of the AA, sending a message of insight to parts of the country that are often overlooked.

The list of ten cities in order the capital Wellington, Bay of Plenty , Rotoura , Nelson Auckland, Invercargill, Hawke’s Bay, Dunedin and Hamilton. All offer cultural awareness, agriculture, each have a landscape unique to the city.

A city is not all glass, pomp and ceremony that only the elite can afford, but heritage protection, caring for what one has already and above all the people.
