Palm irony

Walking past the Auckland Regional Council's headquarters yesterday I realised that the three large palms on one corner (St James & Hopetoun St) are in fact Phoenix Palms - the ones they want to designate as hazardous. Given the hysteria surrounding alleged "political correctness" *massive jaw-at-180 degrees yawn* swirling around this issue - may I suggest the ARC literally start in their own backyard first.
