Content to Hover posted:Peeni Henare got in trouble for posting caricatures of David Seymour and Simeon Brown. Stuff put the them in their article, RNZ does article sharing with stuff. So what I'm saying is don't click unless you want to see a garbage pail kid version of Seymour. I don't see the problem.

So, just so I understand, a light rail corridor linking the train station to the Wellington city centre, with potential for future build-out is a massive waste, disruptive to local businesses etc, but a 4km megatunnel under the city, from the Terrace to the airport is totally fine.

makes me think of the big dig - passing directly under the city centre - connections to the airport - under sea level, near the sea - decades from planning to completion - over budget by 3x - leaky

Can't tell which is the more ridiculous proposal: National's 4km tunnel across an active fault line that bypasses the destination of 90% of traffic using it, or Labour's 21km light rail tunnel that would take 25 years to build and would've follow the same route as the country's most effective busway.

i do like the idea of an eastbound tunnel under the basin reserve but that's not a long distance and it fixes a specific problem

10 billion dollar 4 lanes to the planes for....1200 cars in the morning peak. That wouldn't even fill half of the notorious Westfield Newmarket carpark. Absolute rookie numbers. A single lane can carry more than 1200 cars per hour, let alone 3 hours.

I could see an argument for better connections to a theoretical airport that's expected to grow drastically but wellington airport specifically is the opposite of that, hemmed in by water on two sides and rich politically connected nimbys on the other two sides, while also addressing a small population to begin with so its really a tunnel to nowhere

He also repeated the beheadings claim unchallenged, and inflated the number of people killed on October 7th. Shameful performance by jt.

The Herald has published all six of these pieces just in the last three days lmao it says good things, apparently      "overwhelmingly yes" is apparently the answer This was a week in which Luxon had to strip two senior ministers of their portfolios because they were incompetent.
