“They keep talking about these blanket speed limit changes, but they never were, they were targeted,
and if anything, we’re going back to the days of every urban street is a 50 kilometre per hour zone and every rural road is 100 kilometres and that’s regardless of the nature of the road."

My opinion (former typography teacher who studied handwriting repair): teach touch typing AND legible handwriting. Old NZ print-script is legible but garbage. Modern cursive also a bit garbage. Italic is great and has zealots but isn’t for everyone. www.education.vic.gov.au/school/teach...

Was listening this afternoon to @seaqub.bsky.social on The Detail talking about fragmentation of society and breakdown of community in NZ, and it makes me deeply grateful for the communities I'm part of. Today was our annual basket willow harvest at Kainga. Community in abundance.
