Simeon Brown described Labour’s capped bus fares as fanciful. My #cartoon today #NZpol #Transport #CostOfLiving
Cartoon. Title: “Transport Me” Image shows a bus at a bus stop, a person waiting to get on, and the person in front of her, who is Simeon Brown, is saying, “Is this one of Labour’s flights of fancy?” And the bus driver says, “No, mate, it’s a bus. Now are you getting on board? People have places to go”

If you missed out on a ticket to Tauranga by train last weekend, don't worry, I filmed it for you! We deserve to have transport options - whether you're a commuter, a retiree, a student, or just someone who calls both Hamilton and Tauranga home. Make sure you sign the petition! 🚂💚✨

Having just watched Prime Minister, I think of Jacinda hunched over her papers at home until all hours making sure she was across all the details of her briefs. This clown doesn't even know who's in his Cabinet.

Canada: Our Prime Minster studied at Oxford and Harvard, was the Governor of both the Banks of England and Canada, and is recognized as one of the sharpest financial minds around. America: oh yeah? Our guy has to take dementia tests every week.

“Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” hits #1 today in 1973 — a lyric Bernie Taupin wrote when he was “starting to feel a little bit lost in the whole circus” of fame. “It’s an allegory, really — the idea of getting back to the farm .. but it’s also me saying to Elton and the world, ‘This isn’t who I am.’”

Luxon thinks we need a "mature conversation" about selling state assets... But I don't think he really means that, because a mature conversation would look at the history of failure and the shortsighted focus on profit ahead of public interest. He wants a conversation where we agree with him.
