There is too much animosity on both sides for a Nat/NZF coalition to work. It hasn't happened since the 90s and any such govt would be on suicide watch from day one.

Actually the worst case scenario is for Winnie to cark it early in the term leaving whatever bootscrapings he brings with him access to the levers of power.

Supreme Court ruled that Auckland CC can restrict off-licence hours to 9pm. https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/05/05/supermarkets-lose-battle-over-auckland-alcohol-sales-hours/ Honestly it feels like a "look we did something" kind of move. I don't think it will dent harmful drinking behaviour but will definitely impact shift workers such as myself, or anyone else who keeps odd hours.

klen dool posted:People wont be able to change their habits no matter how much petrol costs (it'll always be the most the market can bear) because we can't move away from oil one person's personal responsibility at a time. We need a just transition, one that includes real options for not using petrol. Stuff like free and frequent public transport, much better intercity public transport, hell a car buyback scheme for replacing petrol cars with EVs, govt investment in EV chargers even out in the middle of no where, dismantling capitalism so we don't have unelected people making decisions on half of all of us but without our consent, and thats just a few things I came up with from the top of my head. Every carbrained idiot demands door to door service before he would deign to use public transport like some sort of poor. Busses for thee but not for me.

Swathes of suburbia with isolated hypermarkets are indeed very difficult to reconcile with realistic and human-centered transport systems and also lead to food deserts, reliance on processed food and market monopolies but it would be too hard to change my habits so I guess there is nothing to be done.

There have been plenty of studies of the effects of UBI here is a wiki link to start your investigation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income_pilots In general people will work slightly less hours but tend to do more productive but less profitable activities such as spending more time with children, improving health outcomes etc.

Comrade Blyatlov posted: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. 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.

They also promised to fix every problem without actually announcing how they would do it except for locking up more brown people and giving millionaires more money. And the media let them.

This is why Seymour is talking about proportionality and how certain government jobs are less important than pushing through policy.
