I was working in the freight industry back in the 70's and that was the route in those days

Great overnight trip & met with the Southerner in the morning.

- The public didn’t know what they were getting
- Worst government ever (after 2 weeks)
- Just because a majority voted for it doesn’t make it right
- No ringing endorsement from middle NZ

Have you lefties been taking lessons from Trump about how to lose an election?

Next there will be capital Hill style temper tantrum protest… hang on… the māori party organised protests already!

These passive aggressive posts with all the emojis make me laugh, because when people respond accordingly you like to play victim when someone does the same to you. Reminiscent of a political strategy these days.

I didnt say they didnt win ... just that I don't buy "middle NZ" voted for the policy platform shitshow underway.
And that the margin of the election wasn't a landslide.

You're actually the only one having tantrum's... if anybody posts mild criticism of new government you're triggered.

If people respect democracy life would be a lot less divisive.

When Jacinda was elected everyone let her get on with it, despite National getting more votes. We critiqued things that came up but there is a political honeymoon period for a reason. Except with some people on here.

Yea well, they did.

It’s called democracy. We don’t agree with all policies from a party but we vote for their overall package.

 

[juju]

They did.

Middle NZ voted for Automatic Weapons

And the Smoking Legislation being repealed?

Only three edits?

This major policy wasn't even campaigned strongly at all & was only written on in NZF manifetso - and still isn't even supported by the public who voted from the parties.

It's pretty clear the vote was for a change of away from Labour than policy.

It's ok to be an adult and admit it's not all rosy.

All hail fossil fuels and the motor car. Praise Regression!!!

Exercised a bit of interference too by the looks. You know who does that right? Corrupt authoritiarian regimes.

And it's coming from a left leaning newspaper right Wiz?

'Embarrassing': Simeon Brown criticised for halting cycling and walking initiatives

The Transport Minister said cycling and walking initiatives are a waste of time and money.

3 x $1.2 billion dollar terminals instead of 2

How so?

 

[John Nick]

How so?

Don't worry about asking him. Hasn't got a clue. Just seeking attention.
His nurse will be around soon.

Corrupt authoritarian regimes.

Allowing people to travel how they want is what the middle majority voted for! We support cycle lanes but not when we’re supposed to have 17% of trips by bike by now and it’s still under 1% with empty lanes everywhere. Balance - not anti car.

And as the research I supplied you show the herald is dead centre - overall not left not right - and definitely not hard right

Genuine question - how much and why do we have containers moving inter island?

Can’t container ships move cargo around the country?

I genuinely wouldn’t have a clue how it all works?

Labour have been active in investing in reactivation of coastal shipping.
4/5 shipping companies are now moving boxes between many ports of nz.
Many of these are empty and need repositioning as the balance of freight is not even in different parts of the country.
This will take some of the heavy traffic of our roads.
Coastal shipping was not encouraged by a previous governments..
Any guess's??
