Lol, one of my coworkers said he would have voted for Leighton Baker but he is "too full of pride naming the party after himself" So my old boss is now likely to be the minister for education, that's going to be interesting

He is a lot like Trevor Mallard in that he has been there for a long time. Knows all the rules etc because he broke most of them along the way. Certainly is good at weaponising them in the course of a debate. Imagine a government trying to function with a hostile Winston as speaker.

The Prime Minister is the leader of the largest party that forms the Government, procedurally there's no way at all Winston can become PM. Anyone can be Deputy PM because there's not really any rules around that, but Winston cannot be PM and even he's not megalomaniacal enough to demand it.

Running an inefficient vehicle means you get the best bang for your buck regarding road user charges. The more petrol per km you use, you SAVE money. It's only sensible.

Although looking it up a ford ranger (diesel) has the same fuel efficiency as my mazda 6. I'm not sure how to compare diesel to petrol though. The petrol V6 ford ranger 14/10 litres per 100km for rown/open road compared to my Mazda 6 which is 7.5litres / 100km

The diesel's considerable advantage in economy and cost used to be offset by having to pay RUC, now the cost is similar but petrol will also have to pay RUC Idk where I was going with that

The cabinet manual recognises it's a political decision made by those forming government, the GG doesn't get a say so how would that rule be applied? quote:6.42 The process of forming a government is political, and the decision to form a government

At least as I understand it, RUC was to deal with diesel vehicles traditionally being larger and heavier than petrols, to help fund road repairs and such. While it's not ridiculous to expect electric vehicles to contribute, National have pretty much said that this is a punitive measure.

I knew I should have checked the Cabinet Manual, PPNZ has let me down for the last time! I guess it's not, strictly speaking, impossible. But it's so far out of the realm of likelihood that it's functionally impossible — the Prime Minister has a bunch of specific powers, including being able to instruct the GG to dismiss Ministers, that there is absolutely no way that a minor coalition partner could ever be given the role. It'd be like Luxon saying to him "You can fire me and then name every member of NZ First as a Minister and there's nothing we could do to stop you short of pulling down the Government." Which is obviously what would happen immediately, but nobody is dumb enough to let that happen. I think if Winston demanded it, then NACT would take the risk of having their very slight majority rather than risk Winston turning the country into his own personal Winston Realm. Edit: I am not a lawyer, just a nerd, so it's very possible I'm wrong again. cptn_dr fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Oct 16, 2023 |

Nah RUC-in-petrol is just a really efficient way to do it; heavy vehicles use more gas and it incentives fuel economy. The problem is vehicles that use fuel but not the roads, like farm equipment. These vehicles mostly use diesel so adding the tax to the fuel won't work: hence RUC.

I'm looking forward to the speed limits all going up again around here, costing more money to redo the signs and traffic management. It's great that we're gonna have a poo poo government because people love driving fast and killing each other to get to kfc or whatever. Also it's weird that people who love cars and utes and make it their whole personality are compaining about having to spend a few minutes longer driving them. Wouldn't spending more time in their reason for existence make them happier?

It's great that we're gonna have a poo poo government because people love driving fast and killing each other to get to kfc or whatever. I think the reality is that speed limits will probably mainly only go up again on some major roads and state highways, and mainly on Waka Kotahi roads (as that's where the minister has in theory the most direct influence). Speed limits on local roads still a local decision, and largely irrelevant to "economic benefits".

They also said where it's safe to do so which can let them weasel out of it if it's harder than they think it will be to change back
