"Seatbelts, air bags and other safety features protect us when we travel in cars. When we’re *not* in cars, we rely on a safe street environment to prevent and mitigate crashes. Snatching away safe speed limits is as unthinkable as taking away our seatbelts." A great piece by Christina Robertson.

Show us the evidence and analysis, Simeon Brown, or be prepared to face scrutiny for spreading misinformation and falsehoods to the people of Aotearoa. The facts are clear: international peer-reviewed evidence, wisdom, and best practices all support the benefits of lowering speed limits.

Of all the baffling ideas this govt is pursuing, this one’s a doozy *even by their own lights*: a cost-benefit review of safe speed zones around schools found they’re <checks notes> 45x better for the economy than Simeon Brown’s strictly-school-gate notion!

A huge challenge confronting those in charge of finalising the ten-year transport plan for Tāmaki Makaurau:
"threading the needle between a) what Aucklanders tell them they actually want and need, and b) what Simeon Brown (also an Aucklander) is telling them they’re permitted to do." #nzpol

And quite honestly, those who have been and are being pushed out of KO should be held up as heroes. They achieved so much under Labour-led Governments who understood that KO's 'core role' is building homes and communities where New Zealanders can thrive.

So now what we figured "controlling debt" at Kainga Ora meant, is out in the open: "The future is for no net housing growth." "The government has been very clear. They want it to go back predominantly to its 'core role' [my emphasis] as a landlord." Good on Kāinga Ora new chair for speaking truth.

Sorry, Sophie, I'm not sure I understood your reply. The magical thinking I was referring to was this Government's tendency to sternly and repeatedly demand outcomes they've removed every resource from achieving. As if it will happen by magic.

Don't panic! Our prescient finance & transport ministers have this covered. Once a desktop study into having a salvage tug is completed, that document can be used to free the ferry! Just the document mind, there's not a chance they'll fund an actual tug. #nzpol

Luxon’s talk about helping with the cost of living crisis can be chalked up as another lie in the deluge of lies.
They’ve cut public services and also made the cost of living crisis worse for families - it’s not just increased tax, it’s public transport, rates, prescription fees. #NZpol
