I think everyone knew he was an rear end in a top hat, and he lives in Epsom, so it stands to reason. Anyone want share the specifics though, for those who don't subscribe to Farrier's newsletter thing?

She's got all the bad poo poo that Wayne brings but also she's big in the pocket of property investors and real estate business so she'll try to dismantle or weaken the new densification rules in favour of more greenfield sprawl which A) sucks really bad for quality of life and B) is cheap to build for investors but costs Council an arm and a leg to provide infrastructure to.

She's also a huge "one more lane" carbrain. At least Wayneo rides a bike to work so sees first hand the value of cycle infrastructure, even if he doesn't believe the council has any role in driving mode shift.

Things may come to those who wait...but only the things left by those who hustle.

Wayne seems like you could at least conceivably convince him on some points if you had the right data and presented it the right way

Bennet has the hungry eyes of an ideologically pure FYGM predator unconstrained by rationality

With all these councils putting out their draft rates increases, has anybody put the whole country in context? Like, what is Auckland compared to Christchurch and Wellington and other cities etc?

quote:

Newshub, one of the key media companies in New Zealand, is to close its newsroom in New Zealand on 30 June, multiple sources have told RNZ.

Staff are in the midst of an emergency meeting now to hear the news.

It is owned by global entertainment giant Warner Bros Discovery which also owns eden, Rush, HGTV and Bravo.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/510391/newshub-to-close-down-newsroom-in-june-sources-say

I'm sure this is the sign of a healthy fourth estate that isn't beholden to profit incentives and which remains fully capable of holding public and private institutions accountable to truth and transparency while also promoting informed public debate through their unbiased coverage of local and global events.

Turns out today is an accidental petrol free day (its not going to make a difference in terms of emissions, it'll just offset buying petrol to tomorrow and will inconvenience people, especially who can't fill up their tank regularly)
