Think a partially empty bus/train off-peak is a waste of resources? Wait until you find out about the resources tied up in our car-based transport system: - most cars parked 96% of the time - 3-4 empty car parks for every one used - land taken by roads + motorways

Speak up for women, get attacked for being anti-men. Speak up for trans rights, get accused of being anti-women. Try to advocate for compassion, get accused of contempt. Maybe the internet is not the best tool for peace, understanding & progress. 🤷🏻‍♀️

For the life of me can not understand why the Labour Govt completely ditched the alert system. Some basic public health measures during a wave seems obvious, easy, justified. 'We need that leadership' - Baker calls for return to Covid alert level system

'We need that leadership' - Baker calls for return to Covid alert level system

New Zealand has recorded its first case of the new Omicron subvariant BQ.1.1, and an epidemiologist says a return to an alert level system could help avoid future waves.

National fighting for buyers of the most gas-guzzling, brand-new luxury SUVs to avoid paying $3k (<3% of vehicle cost) as their share of transition to a cleaner fleet... but looking at fining poor parents of struggling children same amount. Says it all.

This attitude from Police in Tauranga is appalling. Prevent the poors and young people from moving around the city to stop crime. This is not a just or effective solution to any problem.

The National Party (and right generally) going on about coal imports when they did not one thing to plan for a transition away from fossil fuels and coal. If anything, made it harder by partially privatising the energy companies. It’s unbelievable.

So, the new National Govt is sitting on analysis already prepared about the repeal of the Clean Car Discount - and refusing to release. Wonder why???

Government sitting on potentially scathing review of EV policy

The Government won't release an assessment of a key climate policy

Centrist Labour majority govt can do what they want. Getting a comprehensive climate plan as core govt business is necessary precondition to be able to change anything, and it’s a win. Want it to have more teeth? Party Vote Green in 2023.

Thrilled the Govt has just picked up my proposal to exempt bikes/scooters (incl electric) from fringe benefit tax. A win for people & the climate! Thanks to the hundreds of ppl and organisation who submitted to select committee!

The National Party is economically illiterate. Taxing the rich and corporate super profits is fair, good for all of us, and disinflationary. Their BS line about tax is so irritating.

I’ve tried the reasonable, rational approach for so long but sometimes you just need to call a spade a spade.

Weird that I have to say this. But if you can't afford to make your property warm, healthy & safe to live in, you shouldn't be a landlord.

Wellington: I will never understand why some drivers (usually alone) aggressively overtake/speed past me on my bike (usually with my child) on an urban street with a 30 or 40kph limit... just to stop at a queue of cars at a red light 100-300m ahead.

I guess my question is, if you were going to cop flak from investors and the like for extending the Bright Line Test anyway, why not just do the comprehensive capital gains tax the working group recommended? #nzpol

I want to acknowledge & thank . @nikkikaye . I first met her 11 yrs ago when she was new MP for Akl & I was an urban planner talking to her about planning rules. She was in the role to help people, and she supported important leg change for women & equality.
