I work at AUT, and as it is I had to ask not to be put into any classes in 'T' Block, as the parking down there is so horrible at the best of times, so this just astounds me (mind you, at least I had a choice in the matter, whereas students for the most part don't).

I use a walker and an electric chair and cannot hold an umbrella, I to hate the ATM cripples or the ones who say "I'm only here 5 minutes" as while they are away in those 5 minutes, someone like me or Red might come, find the parks full and not be able to go to the shopping ect.

You are obviously one of those ATM Crippled who thinks it's okay to park in a mobility space. If the spaces were full then they were being used for the correct purpose so moving on is fine but I think you will find that the Council have breached basic Human Rights. Sadly NZ is the worst respecter of disabled peoples rights... Charles.

Perhaps I'm mistaken and they're just plain arrogant.

I would be interested to hear where they assumed other suitable disabled parking was when they gave this excuse. They obviously have little understanding of the day to day mission it is to move around in the city for not so abled individuals, who may not necessarily be in a chair but have great difficulty with mobility, and as for Telecom I would have thought they had enough promotion of their new network, god I'm sick of it.
