The raging about Fletcher reaching a deal with the government with the govt on Ihumātao is hilarious. These nongs have convinced themselves Fletcher committed unforgivable business treason by selling a distressed asset for a $4m capital gain.

I mean, let's look at the counterfactual: a National govt spurns the protests, Fletcher faces evicting hundreds of people to proceed with its development, it's all over the news and the whole thing never gets out from under a cloud of infamy. It's commercially disastrous.

But HDPA and a horde of Twitter shriekers seem to believe Fletcher should have taken up arms in some sort of culture war, like it doesn't have enough problems already. Sheesh.
