Daily review is also your post.
This provides Standardistas the opportunity to review events of the day.
The usual rules of good behaviour apply (see the Policy).
Don’t forget to be kind to each other …

"Labour’s policy platform is sensible and mainstream. And as I found from speaking to thousands of people across the country during my Net Zero review, it is what the public wants and what business needs. It is potentially the greatest economic opportunity of our lifetimes – and the UK can’t afford to miss out."
Ex Tory minister making UK Labour sound exciting & future looking & heaving with vision (in regards to energy anyway).

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

NActFirst are making a horror film in NZ. Slash and burn....Everything.
The flow-on effects of cuts and downsizing an economy are well known. They know..but literally dont care.
Re your links, what do you think of Community Housing Aotearoa ?
What is their situation with regards building and capability of same?
I ask as you do seem to have a perceptive take on such things.
The CofC is also presiding over something else getting worse.
It cancelled a planned renewal of KiwiRails Cook Strait operations without an alternative, or making any moves to do so.
That it seemed happy with a rundown of the service and facilitating a takeover of it by the private sector is suspected.
Thus no concern about funding for the maintenance of the ships, given replacement is distant …
