I'm confused. How about you?

In an article in tonights Marlborough Express, there were a few interesting observations.
Firstly, there's been a resource consent granted to use a Defender fan on a block out Seddon way. I'm going to assume that this means that the new Defender has been tested and has passed the requirements under the proposed plan changes. Good news for them.
I'm still a bit in the dark of course. I mean they appear to have a new fan doing the rounds, but it's a picture of the old one that appears on their web site along with their historical shocking propaganda 'testing' data from the University of Canterbury. It never fails to surprise me that people can spend a bazillion dollars on R&D and still expect to put up a public 'face' on a web site with incorrect data and in one case even a missing image.
Secondly, there's some information on the long running battle up the Waihopai with Waihopai Holdings or Mount Riley as the parent company's called. To be brutal, it would appear as if the person writing the article has got things a bit topsy turvy, unless of course there's been some RADICAL changes in the way that bun fight has developed. Interesting to see that they appear to have been granted a right to use one fan and are applying for another?? I thought this was all heading to court to sort out, so perhaps there's been some movement.
This all smells a bit fishy and half-baked fish at that.
