I think this is the most useful, careful, and interesting account of Putin I've read since the war began newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/s…

Unfortunately this is all too common. AT need to have a change in focus to ensure our most vulnerable are not risking their lives on our roads.

YES THIS

Thread on how Amazon treats its workers Context: Amazon full-time warehouse employees make $31,200 a year. Jeff Bezos makes that every 12 seconds. Cost to give warehouse workers 2 weeks paid sick leave + pay bumps so they don't qualify for food stamps = 0.9% of Bezos' fortune

I wish people including media would stop saying we’re wasting millions on cycleways in Auckland & no one is using them. We’ve built barely any cycleways. Cities across Nz & the world are doing way more. Where they exist people use them. Where they don’t, people get hurt or die.

Somthing about people in glasshouses…

Perhaps is time for a benchmark case against Auckland Transport to determine if they are negligent in failing to provide a safe cycling route. We can’t allow another life to be taken due to their inaction.

Auckland Transport: “Safety is our top priority”. …As long as it’s not for cyclists.

Hey @harveynormanNZ do you think you could find a better place for your drivers to have their smoko. Bike Auckland Auckland Transport

Maybe there still is hope for Twitter.

Finland also has a road toll rate that’s about half of New Zealand’s. This, combined with a similar approach for parking fines should see driver behaviour improve markedly.

This is madness. $500 fines for not paying for your bus ticket? Meanwhile, the maximum infringement fee for parking "in a way that is unsafe" is a paltry $60. Parking on a footpath is only a $40 fee. Can we sort this out please?

A recent Auckland Transport seminar on active transit was meant to be a positive affair. But the anonymous comments in the online chat told a different story. thespinoff.co.nz/society/28-02-…

The Broadcasting Standards Authority says an interview between Newstalk ZB's Heather du Plessis-Allan and a 16-year-old climate activist went too far. thespinoff.co.nz/live-updates/n…

Can you please clarify why you are expecting lower parking and enforcement costs Auckland Transport . These should both be expected to increase or you are not charging enough for parking and/or not enforcing the rules.
