This ⬇️ from Kim Workman is particularly apposite in election year. In the 1990s, Finland went from having one of the highest prison rates in Europe to one of the lowest, without any increase in crime rates. The Nats prefer the US prison system #nzpol

I wanted to re-up this in light of the most recent climate disaster (yesterday). There is so much needful that needs doing, and both of the major parties have committed to either not doing it, or doing the opposite.
This must change.

Quick, dirty and expensive. The govt is going to build a $1 billion liquid natural gas (LNG) import terminal, instead of investing in clean energy. And as for the levy…if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

Maybe it's just typo for "Levee"?

No wonder they expect a Chatham House rules arrangement
where everything was off the record (unless explicitly otherwise) in the new 'Pint Of Order' bar in Parliament.
(Pint? The Weights & Measures Amendment Act of 1976 made NZ Metric- "1/2 Liter of Lies" would be a more appropriate epithet)

To be clear, “total coliforms” are not a group or kind of bacteria; coliforms are the gut bacteria that you find in poo, and a high “total coliforms” number in the water sample indicates there’s poo in there. Worrying that the Council spokesperson seems confused about this.
