Tear gas, rubber bullets, water cannon? You are ok with lethal force on civilians?

Actually WK and Carolyn below there is a minority of dangerous drivers on the road but a majority of selfish drivers. Interesting that it is YOU who claimed to be the good driver and everyone else were children, arrogant, ignorant or bullies to be told ...
And all the other wage earners. Maybe National could remember them too.
Speak for yourself whispering Kate. How many kms do you do on the open road? We need less armchair traffic cops, better roads, less heavy freight on roads and better control of tourist drivers in the south. Most of the country isn’t downtown Auckland BTW.
How notable that the right is now the defender of the public service.
Lol the hard working MP Nicky Wagner who would rather be out on the harbour than helping those with disabilities, her actual job.
How do these sellouts get to invoke “ national pride” while selling national assets and giving our water, jobs, land, houses and competitive advantage to those overseas ahead of kiwis? Key was king for the selfish, the greedy the shallow and the short term...
Nicely played!
Yes. They badly need a media strategy that works for them. Be bold, remake the media landscape to everyone’s betterment. I mentioned Scandinavian style self regulation and then questioned myself when Ed started to talk about it. I really do think it’s a ...
Boom.
I’d be interested in why you say that, I’m thinking in particular of the number and size of trucks on the South Islands state highway one affecting everyone else’s productivity.
And if I don’t make my work commitment, specialist appointment or parents funeral who cares? Time is money. I wish it wasn’t so. How many of you urban transport theorists spend serious road time for work or family? It’s like vegans lecturing on meat ...
“Lower tolerance was for a period during holiday periods” It’s during all holiday periods. Are you another non driver? Since it doesn’t fit your narrative and you didn’t answer the question, I’ll answer. The road toll has gone up. Who is cherry picking I ...
Only short haul should be allowed on the roads, any long haul stuff should go by rail where it exists. Downsize the trucks again too.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/opinion/102813205/bernard-hickey-a-rail-government-vs-a-motorway-opposition “They then plan to use $4 billion of that over the next decade to build rail infrastructure, mostly in Auckland, and will also use around ...
People are more time pressured now than ever before. Limiting freedoms should be the last resort.
Yes I also linked that article. Very interesting the breakdown of who is causing the fatal accidents, a good portion are drunk, disqualified or non license holders. Slowing down and frustrating the law abiding further is unlikely to make things better. ...
Did you look at the breakdown of figures? Only 14 percent of speeding fatal crashes caused by fully licensed drivers.
What happened to the road toll since they enforced a lower speed tolerance? 85 percent of road deaths happen at below the speed limit: https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/news/99962708/as-road-toll-creeps-up-christmas-holiday-4kmh-speed-tolerance-policy-...
Auckland: 4 billion dollars Everyone else: 800 million dollars I am all for increased use of rail to take pressure off roads everywhere. Personally I’m not all about Auckland. Auckland. Auckland. I bet it’s exciting if you live in Auckland. Auckland
And a Xanax
I’m sweet with that, you are just a few hundred years ahead of yourself. We kind of have to get there first.
Bullshit on the roads, you should leave the house more often. Nicely stilted article there, no breakdown rural vs urban.there are other cities in NZ outside Auckland, who knew? Also from your article: “They found that Auckland received around 35% of ...
Wow Anyway time to leave this be. Quite revealing.
DTB says we should be vertical farming if regressive taxation means everyone has to live in the city. Where do the cows stand? Idealism, meet reality.
See how it plays out DTB. Drive some South Island roads “it’s different here” because fuck all money gets spent on roads outside natural disasters. But yeah Auckland. If the rural urban divide was a National construct for the election, watch what happens ...
I’m happy for new Zealand not to exploit cheap immigrant labour. How’s that invasion of Tibet treating you? Harvested any organs lately? There is no exploitation in China. Mongol imperialism was also benign. [lprent: Perhaps you should ease off on the ...
“Behaviour changing” When you live remotely and don’t have public transport I’ll let you think about how that sounds.
“could have chased the wealthy or off shore corporates to pay their share and increased their popularity.” Tax the corporates, tax the wealthy. Joe Bloggs kiwi is struggling.
Watch this person and learn people, to this poster economic migration is people coming to take what’s theirs. This is what you get when you open your door too easily. Or give away our water and other resources. They will take all day long.
