Excess capacity? The excess capacity generated by 140,000+ people on the dole, the 400,000 people on a main benefit, the 3,000 businesses that have gone bust, and the 170,000 people that have fled the country? That excess capacity?

The conclusion is that National treats donors like shareholders (who need a return on investment) and voters like hapless consumers who get what they are given.

The entire purpose of the SAVE Act is to make sure trans people and married women can no longer vote. That's it.
“The SAVE Act will require voters to show proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections…”
“Only half of Americans hold a valid passport…Birth certificates are also problematic for many married women [whose] name may be different than the name on her birth certificate.”

Every single president of the United States since Lyndon Baines Johnson has expressed public and private opposition to Israeli annexation of the occupied West Bank, but every single president since LBJ has also greenlit unconditional support while Israel annexes it anyway.
Exclusive: Trump says he opposes Israeli annexation steps in West Bank
"We have enough things to think about now. We don't need to be dealing with the West Bank."

FFS Hipkins, just say you'll cancel the gas project no matter what. Don't use IRex to take some illusory moral high ground. Just take a strong 'we'll cancel it' position now, and no company will sign a contract until after the election. Yet again he snatches defeat from the jaws of victory #nzpol

E-bikes are great.
But unregistered powerful electric motorbikes are different. They are a problem in the wrong hands. They are illegal on roads, trails, and paths. Police need the tools to enforce the law and reduce risk.
