Another leadership hopeful skittled. Like dominos this week.
Mitchell's pack of lies about the emails is starting to unravel.
"He has also maintained that the 36 complaint emails sent to him were diverted by police staff seconded to his ministerial office under a protocol set by Coster, meaning neither he nor his political advisers saw them."

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.
