Fire and Emergency NZ breached firefighter’s privacy by accessing his personal bank account in c/[email protected]

It's weird from top to bottom really.

Wellington Airport's giant, Hobbit-themed eagles to be replaced in c/[email protected]

I've absolutely seen companies take on work at break even, or even at a loss, just to keep staff employed and the business ticking over through a quiet patch.

Not a particularly good look for FENZ.

Businessman and politician Sir Bob Jones dead at 85 in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I'm not sure many people do remember him fondly, it's only the far right critters that seem to have any fondness for him.

Imagine Heather Duplisee-allen and David Seymour making public statements saying you'll be missed.

I'd say he'll be missed, but I'd be lying.

Visa can shove off, if they don't like retailers charging transaction fees, they should charge less for their services.

Peter Prescott fails to overturn bankruptcy after $34k fines defending $80 speeding ticket in c/[email protected]

What if the vehicle isn't owned by an individual though?

Because they don't know who was driving.

If you're pulled over, you have to present your ID, which is recorded on the ticket, a camera ticket just goes to the registered owner of the vehicle.

Driver licence changes: Government proposes to scrap second practical test, reduce eyesight tests in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Insurance costs for new drivers in the UK are notoriously high, especially young men, to the point where insurance can be more than the cost of the vehicle.

UK and some US states do. Maybe Australia?

Pretty good summary, to be honest.

Your analysis of why Labour lost the election is just way off, I'm afraid.

Just keep digging. 🐕🕳️

Seriously though, did this guy think that, if he argues long enough, they would just give up?

Peter Jackson is an investor with these guys? Neat.

I wonder if this technology could be used to resurrect the Moa and the Haast eagle?

Billboards attacking Green MPs appear in Wellington and Auckland (www.rnz.co.nz)
 

Defunding the police is not Green Party policy. At a panel last month Paul said police resources could be used more productively, and suggested other agencies and organisations were better placed to take on some of police's functions.

I can only imagine there would be a transfer of funding to those organisations at the same time, surely?

New details of Cook Strait ferry replacement plan unveiled (www.rnz.co.nz)
 

This is actually very reasonable, rail enabled, bigger than what we currently have, but not the absolute monsters that were planned.

I wonder if the ability to operate fully under electrical power for part of the crossing has been retained?

Green MP faces ‘immense’ death threats and abuse over social media account (www.nzherald.co.nz)
 

So, uhh, has the word "bussy" ever meant something other than "boy pussy", I.E ass?

According to screenshots posted to social media, the account posted a photo of Doyle and a child with the caption: “bussy galore”.

What were they thinking?

Coning should be one of our national sports, what an achievement.

Good grief.

We'll get around to it.

Seriously though, what is wrong with our governments? Why do they wait until we have a crisis before they do anything?

God I wish he'd stop saying woke every sentence. He sounds like a complete and utter fool.

Also, great seeing him on the back foot like this.

Tauranga woman distributes OnlyFans content belonging to ex-husband’s new wife (www.rnz.co.nz)
 

This is quite a strange one for me, the content that was shared was created by the new wife and uploaded to OnlyFans herself, it was there to be found already.

I'm quite surprised this is considered such a serious act.
