Never digitise elections. Provide access for those who need it, but the act of physically counting ballots is just the best.

Dunedin doesnt realise how great this is. It creates a great pre-match atmosphere as hordes of people walk to the the stadium or bus/train to the game. Something I missed in Auckland. Still a majority traveld by car.

This is the BYD Dolphin Mini (aka Seagull) & the Leapmotor T03. They're rumoured to be flooding into the NZ & AU markets soon and will likely be highly affordable little electric cars. I wonder if one particular combustion-only compact maker is getting uneasy right about now? πŸ€”

DANG The Bishop has really spoken For sake of TLDR The Bishop will make Mixed Use as of right in the higher order zones. About sodding time and it does actually break the back of supermarkets and large format retail Walk for the coffee and milk, not drive the wankpanzer for them

"Bishop outlines a new approach to development that will encourage housing development where people want them, not where planners think they should be."

So the housing gets built where its's convenient for developers, not the people that will actually live in them. tkr.ro/e/FgqD1ecwlD...

❌ Removing urban/rural boundaries

Bishop would be a decent politician if he wasn't a total prick. You don't understand how much of a prick he is.

When some from NZ say disinfo didn't have much of an impact in New Zealand's Oct '23 general election, they completely miss out on influence operations w/ clear astroturfing pathologies. Inter alia, Facebook Pixel ad tech was central to this, but no one cares. sanjanah.wordpress.com/2024/04/20/a...

Even on a cold, rainy day the bike is the best way to get around. Especially when you have a few external meetings incl at Uni and at the new Dunedin Hospital site. And great to see the bike rack is well used by the tradies there (even on a rainy day). πŸ˜‡

And as expected The Big 4 petrol companies have NOT lowered the price of fuel So keeping the 14c from the Regional Fuel Tax as profit. So if you want to know where inflation is coming from look there. Supply side aka corporate price gouging that is fixed by Windfall taxes.

I wonder if Dunedin Railways could be convinced to run a Dunedin-Christchurch Southerner Train on a regular basis using their Panorama carriages?

Probably have more luck restoring the service with them than Kiwirail.

Oh no, all of K-Road was pedestrianised for Matariki.

Local businesses can't survive this!

How can customers park their cars??

There's no local that can say that they wanted this woke bureaucratic design!

ACT Leader Seymour wants no data or evidence. Every time he comes up against evidence or data that disprove ACT policies work or someone calling for evidence/data to make better decisions he resorts to name calling, or outright lies. Data is not populism. #nzpol www.newshub.co.nz/home/politic...

This video was provided in response to one of our recent OIA requests and comes from 2018. It shows what we could have had if the previous govt hadn't been distracted by unaffordable metro schemes. More in an upcoming post.
