Peter Jackson is an investor with these guys? Neat.

Don't they use the same image and style as the billboards they used during the last election? You could make an argument that they are parodying the actual green party billboards.

I don't know how strong that argument would be though.

I think they felt this was something that needed to be brought to the attention of the NZ public?

Given that law and order was a key item last election, and something Nat-Act-NZF were seen as being strong on, probably with good reason, it's a spectacular own goal for one of their MPs to be making these statements. Especially considering how dodgy parts of Wellington feel some days.

I find this frustrating, because I'm someone that works for wages, and spends as much time as possible in the outdoors, so I should be supporting either Labour or Green, but neither party really appeals to me right now.

Realistically, a vote for Labour is a vote for a Labour-Green coalition, so it's a viable concern.

And they just cannot stop fucking up. I think Labour is taking a step to the left and trying to take some of their support with policies like a CGT.

Honestly, if you were careful with your phrasing, you probably could.

ACT are in favour of less health and safety regulations in the building industry, for example.

It also doesn't say anything good about the helm and autopilot system that nobody noticed it was off.

In virtually any other similar system, human input will override the system. That's how it works in vehicles, that's how it works in aircraft, I'd have expected there to at least be an alarm that the autopilot was engaged.

Virgin are working on a system where a high altitude aircraft will deploy a rocket, and a similar system was developed using an F-14 as a launch vehicle.

I'm not away of a single stage system doing this before now though.

While their candidate is receiving death threats?

If the photo wasn't genuine, you'd expect that to be the first thing the Greens would say in response, surely?

Yeah, it had ballooned to more than double their initial estimate, quite frankly, I don't trust Labour's numbers on any of this.

It's not explicitly said in the article, but the ships will be sister ships, from my understanding, and will be replacing the entire fleet.

Also, the original vessels were $550 mil for the pair, no way is the cancellation cost more than that.

You can comment on both the album and an individual photo on Facebook though.

And the fact it was their child doesn't make this less weird.
