It just wouldn’t be Wellington without the smell of raw sewage, would it?

Needs more labels.

The Pokemon cards would almost certainly hold their value better, especially considering how reliable modern Ford vehicles are.

But there’s a problem with this logic. It counts time saved from higher speeds as pure economic gain, while ignoring the time lost when those higher speeds increase crash frequency and severity.

Do they though? Some of the safest roads in the country are our motorways and expressways, which are also the fastest.

Who’s better at putting voters off, Act or TPM?

You need therapy, I’m not joking.

Surfers are a lot angrier than most people realise.

Yeah, hobson’s pledge is so toxic I doubt even National will take them too seriously. I very much doubt they had any real effect on this change.

I hate it when politicians hang around like a bad smell once they leave office, offering opinions that nobody asked for.

Both Key and Brash need to get a hobby.

I should stop reading the news before bed, it just makes me angry.

I’m honestly not sure what a squash is, I thought of the sport at first.

Yeah, I have no idea how the lab keeping quiet about that was legal. Perhaps it wasn’t.

BusinessNZ chief executive Katherine Rich said if the court’s ruling became the status quo, the gig economy could collapse.
