Reframing https://twitter.com/MediaAnalystOz/status/1611955213195415556
Editors and producers decide on stories and approaches to them. Not presenters.
Without reading, perhaps insistence on a journalism qualification? Or knowing how skewed anything written by a rampant Actoid like this guy might be? Any comms person would protect a party leader.
I see some constructive ideas in there. And useful to hear from a German person when someone raises that country as an example. However NZ does have a roading hierarchy too, yes.
'Vision 95%' It's not all about speed. Rumble strips are one of the most cost-effective road safety interventions, for example. Protected cycle lanes are wonderful. But nothing we say here will convince someone who thinks they are smarter than world ...
If only financial transaction taxes were possible without international cooperation. Even estate taxes and stamp duties on house sales would be a start - until the next Nat govt repealed them again.
Volvo has also probably saved more lives than any other car company by donating the seatbelt design to other manufacturers over decades. But hey, let's heed a random numpty on the interwebs instead.
A more progressive income tax regime, with higher marginal rates on very high income The wealthiest people do not have high incomes. Wrong target.
One of the key attributes of goals is that they are achievable. Framing a target as "zero" is blatantly unachievable. You seem to be having trouble understanding the difference between a short term goal and a long-term one. Respectfully, that is not our ...
When you say 'objective' or 'goal' do you mean a short-term target, or a long-term kaupapa?
The foundation of a Vision Zero strategy is changing the transport sector's expectations. Of course they are having trouble delivering. Govt is not communicating enough context, so voices like yours can fill the vacuum with 'common sense'. However calling ...

Why make that a reply at all?
Copying overseas experience of how to change transport systems, you say.. And Road to Zero is about way more than speed - as you might know if you bothered reading anything but the latest Nat media releases.
Kiwibuild was premised on the unrealistic belief that the private sector would help reduce the cost of housing out of the goodness of their hearts. Flawed theory of change. It was also an embarrassing failure and govt's approach totally changed after that ...
Vision Zero is a proven international approach for transport systems to move away from tolerating deaths and serious injuries. https://visionzeronetwork.org/about/what-is-vision-zero/ It's quite practical. This government needs to be far better at ...

Sharp https://twitter.com/Salon/status/1610956092825010176 Fascists are a bunch of trolls who are never satisfied. They must always prove their power by ganging up on someone who's been cast as an "outsider." As the Atlantic's Adam Serwer famously observed...
Claiming extra social investment is for 'families' or 'children' is intended to neutralise the right attacking it. Politics is the art of the possible.
Edwards sure as heck is not behaving in any way like an "academic". How he has managed to snuggle up to that university is a whole story waiting to be written. A very useful idiot for the right.
If someone is gagging for a tax cut, why would they vote Lab rather than Nat?
I would love to see universal dental and free primary healthcare, accompanied by strong wealth taxes to make the dodgers pay their share. However, you seem to be conflating 'left' with Labour. The Greens have long offered policies about core material ...

Thanks. The logic of siting solar near existing grid connections is appealing. Article does a wonderful job of exploring all the potential downsides.
