I'm all for innocent until proven guilty, but man it would take some good explaining as to how she and her kids survived her own dinner.

People pay full price for steam games?

Like, you don't have an abundance of games to play and cant wait a year, maybe two, to get it for atleast 50% off?

Or is that just me and am I weird?

First guess is sexual assault allegations have been proofed?

We got chickens when facing an egg crisis here in NZ. Lovely little animals. It's been nice being able to look after and care for these creatures, knowing they are living the good life whilst consuming their eggs. Much more useful than my dumb dog.

Grateful to be living in a country where police don't even carry firearms regularly - New Zealand

It's messed up that we have to put a number on body parts for insurance reasons, but it sure should be a hell of a lot more than just over $1k

Brush, you do not seem like a nice person to be around.

Spread love and kindness, not hate.

I hope you have a better rest of your day.

Can we just all agree that the majority of the actions the current gov is focusing their time and effort on are dragging this country backwards?

Is there anyone who's able to say fuck yea to all actions the coalition are completing?

Like my family is a bit more on the right then me, they definitely voted for one of the three parties, but even they are like "what the fuck" to half the shit that they are doing.

I'd be surprised if they extend their reign at the next election.

Vaquitas are the smallest of all the living cetacean species measuring between 1.2 and 1.5 meters (4-5 feet). They are only found in the Gulf of California and it's thought there are just 10 left, down from around 30 in 2017. The reason for this decline in the population is due to fishers using gillnets, a specialized flat net used for the illegal hunting of totoaba fish, which are sold into the lucrative traditional Chinese medicine black market

Biggest thing I miss from old reddit. Oh well.

Rip millions of tax payer dollaroos

Like, it's great that this line of income exists for ministers/prime ministers that genuinely need it to be able to live in Wellington. For example if an average New Zealander got into parliament.

However the hipocrisy from this man is unreal. This is using the electric car rebate but critising the hell out of it and scrapping it as soon as he could, but on a whole other level.

If housing is an issue in Wellington (it is) actively work on fixing it as opposed to providing crazy subsidies to ministers.

Luxon mentions people on the benefit needing a crackdown as there are people living on taxpaplyer money who shouldn't, what the fuck is he doing claiming all of these extras?

Time to bring in means testing for the benefits our ministers can access.

Really need more details to understand or make the comparison between the two plans.

Upgrading port side infrastructure in line with earthquake and environmental regulations still needs to occur - this was a major reason for the cost blow-out, and aside from shifting this burden to the port side councils (not a solution imo), what is the revised costing for this?

Iirc a reporter asked Winston this question but the stupid old fart can't/doesnt want to answer questioning along these lines - what is the additional maintenance costs we have to fund to keep the current aging fleet going to the absolute end of their tether - this is millions of dollars in funding that's going to maintain old ships that are going to be scrap.

A question I haven't seen answered too is the whole - we'll build different ships with different shipyards. Are we going with one rail enabled ship, one just cars and trucks? Again - I'd love further information here.

Re- the slight bump in capacity freight and people wise - I'm all for the efficiency gains by having rail enabled ferries - but it's a bit of a shame they will only carry 40 rail carts per trip. I'd prefer a bigger shift towards moving goods by rail and reducing trucks on the road - this is the only way to do it given its such a vital choke point.

Bit of a novel apologies - a guy who takes the ferries mostly as passenger walk on ~10 times a year.

In the old days of 5 days a week in office, people would only grab a coffee or snack/lunch once or twice a week.

In the new world, with people coming into the office twice/thrice a week, they now grab coffee/lunch every office day as a treat, with the extra costs being offset by less spent on transport.

Also, this is just another step in the wrong direction climate wise. Aren't we meant to be reducing transport and our carbon footprint? Maybe first focus on improving public transport before making statements such as these that will inevitably lead to more vehicle traffic and congestion onto our roads.

Vodafone just let us know our fibre bill will be going up by 6$ a month, citing their costs changing.

Shouldn't fibre costs decrease overtime as it gets more users and achieves economies of scale?

I'm a Dutch person who grew up in NZ. NZ is a nice place, even though the cost of living is a bit high and we have our own problems, but in comparison with other overseas struggles we have it pretty good here!

Came here to say, Mad Max is a sick game. Still holds up.

Knights and merchants

This can't be real

Is this a good thing? A bad thing? Someone please tell me how to think and either cause outrage or support!
