Capital Letter: Why do the Beehive and a rusting oil tank have the same heritage status?

from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB

It's a fact that has dumbfounded some of Wellington's city councillors. Why does the heart of New Zealand's government, the Parliamentary precinct, have the same heritage status as a giant rusting oil tank on the other side of the city? Derelict buildings with heritage status are something Wellingtonians have discussed for years, and now the Wellington City Council is supportive of the government changing the law. To discuss the issue, NZ Herald's Wellington issues reporter Georgina Campbell joined Nick Mills for the Capital Letter.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
