Bishop prioritising the few over the many. These few just happen to all be his friends.

You, All NActF's mates have all got their property developments approved and now can pull the ladder up after them.

It seems more that he was overruled by Luxon, Seymour & Brown. But in a way the Epsom voters have won the battle only to lose the war.

There was never going to be 2 million new apartments all of a sudden, and so long as the provisions allowing the Auckland council to prioritise building in areas where there's infrastructure remains (which it does) - then Epsom has train stations and that's where they'll get built.
