Mike Hosking: Time for the Government to clean up the Rotorua mess


A forgotten part of the Rotorua mess are the tourism operators. They have this week, quite rightly, charged the Government with wrecking their town and its reputation.

The Government will try and tell you that Rotorua and its mess is really just confined to Fenton Street. But as anyone who knows anything about brand reputation will tell you, a reputation is hard won and easily lost.

What's so sad and tragic about the Rotorua story is all of this has been beyond the operators’ control.
