Guys Parakiore is incredible. This is half of the pools, and then there's all the playing courts, all the dance studios, the circus(!) and dry dive (!!) room. Now if only there was no car traffic in the CBD and it would be perfect

I don't think drivers/the car-brained realise what a deal they're being offered when cycleways are proposed. If you pay a little bit of money to make it good we'll stop complaining and you won't have to interact with us anymore and we'll like you for it! What a steal!

A screenshot of a patreon payment tier that reads "Buy my silence. Permanently. $8000 per month. For $8000 a month, I will stop' It has been badly drawn over so that both instances of $8000 look like $8 instead

Whoops! (RNZ article on Restore Passenger Rail charges being dropped)

The jury was dismissed and a retrial ordered.

But on Tuesday the Crown confirmed it would not be pursuing the case and asked that the charges be withdrawn.

can we please change to: Judge Jan Kelly, however, agreed with the defence and dismissed the charges.

All four defendants faced charges of endangering transport - which carried a maximum 14-year jail term - related to three protests in October 2022 that called for passenger rail services to be restored.

Checked my records, and it was the workforce select committee actually

Swarbrick What, then, about the postgraduate student allowance? Have you given any
consideration to reinstating that?
Hipkins Oh, yes, certainly. Probably more in the last term than this term, because it
wasn’t a commitment we made for this term. It was a commitment we made
in the last term, and then COVID rolled along and we all remember what
happened there. We weren’t in a position to make a commitment to do that
for this term, but it certainly remains something I think the Government
would like to do. I can’t put a specific timetable on that.
Swarbrick Do you have updated costs? Have you received updated advice on what it
would take to reinstate the postgraduate allowance now?
Hipkins Not off the top of my head. I don’t think the costs would have shifted
significantly, but I don’t have that off the top of my head.

Hmmmm 😬😬😬

“Never again” - it’s a warning & core principle for both the present & future. Together we can ensure that Jewish people do not have to suffer atrocities like the #NightofBrokenGlass 85 years ago today ever again. In these days and weeks, we stand with Israel 🇮🇱 #NeverAgainIsNow
