A pity that Prince William's father was not invited to open the new Supreme Court building instead. He would not be as polite as his son and would berated the architect for throwing together what is the most crass building to be erected in Wellington since the 1970 shoddy construction era. It is simply appalling that this site is wasted by such a structure. The old Ministry of Works designed some rather bland buildings, but nothing as crass as this one which cost the tax payer over $67 million dollars.

I think the building has a fantastic design. The designers have an excellent scene of humour and irony. Having sent people to jail, our top judges will finish their careers in offices "behind bars".
