Only 10% of the full transport spend and less than 1% of our operational budget goes on sustainable transport. Thats pretty good value considering around 45% take the bus, walk or ride!

No one ever claims parliament is broken because National and Labour don’t get along. So why is it different for the council? thespinoff.co.nz/politics/29-10…

The data does not show the bike lane slowing buses, it shows construction, a broken traffic light and a lane closed for maintenance on Tinakori Rd slowed buses and other traffic. Average travel time of 6m 19s was recently measured at 7m 6s. Let’s compare when the work is done.

Here they are Yellow Fever Ngā Wana Kōwhai 🤩💛

regardless of the election’s results it’s obvious this country has gotten way more rightwing especially amongst men and i think a lot of that is what is fed to us online, we have to figure out a way to stop every dude under 35 from turning into crypto hitler

As homelessness hits an all-time high, New Zealand’s frontline organisations are embracing unconventional and innovative strategies. I took a closer look at the crisis and met some people who claim to have the cure. thespinoff.co.nz/society/11-11-…

This is a daft take and misunderstands the role Treaty principles play in our constitutional system. We don’t convene a straw poll at the local pub to work out what folk think Magna Carta means. Nor should we do so with te Tiriti/the Treaty.

The centre voter has changed, here's my response in the Herald to the rubbish being spouted by Heather Du Plessis-Allan and the right wingers who thought we made a mistake by supporting the Hīkoi. What do you think? In her latest column, Newstalk ZB host Heather du Plessis-Allan

Love this graph by Geordie, a quick edit to really show the huge underinvestment across previous mayors. This Woke Council has heavily invested in Woke Pipes.

Kimmel. Colbert. Suits against the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and 60 Minutes. Extorting settlements from CBS, ABC, and others. Blocking the AP's access to the White House. This administration is responsible for the most blatant attacks on the free press in

So the Prime Ministers new attack on teachers is their 12 weeks of school holidays which we all know many teachers work through. Regardless. NZ Parliament has 20+ weeks of recess each year including a far longer summer break than most professions including teaching!!!

🚨 Pep Guardiola on his future: “You want to fire me?! No, good. My salary is so high. So I have one more year on my contract”. “How can I give you an update about an opinion that I don't know about this opinion - it's just a rumour. So, I'm sorry, I'm not going to answer that”.

I am begging, BEGGING democrats to do better than this. Trump is a corrupt pedophile rapist war criminal illegally overthrowing Venezuela to steal oil and enrich his billionaire friends as they loot the treasury. “SIR YOU DIDN’T GO THROUGH THE PROPER PROCESS!!!!” Is way too weak

Get the contract out, put it on the table, let him sign it and let him put whatever numbers he wants to put on there…

crazy with charlie kirk it was “he was a husband” “he was a dad” but when random people who also have families get murdered standing up against republican nazis you say they deserved it? fuck off genuinely fuck all of you

Jon Stewart on the ICE murder of Alex Pretti: “They’re lying. We saw it. That’s how brazen they lie when they know we’ve seen the truth. Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them. Maybe that explains why Alex Pretti really was a threat. Because he was

maga are cattle btw. totally owned by parasitic capital. they said they were voting for trump for no new wars, releasing the epstein files, & getting prices down. not one of those things happened & they still love him. barely sentient peasant brained losers.
