Aim is to grab more data on where cars are and put it in a massive database so cops can check up on you. Few controls to stop cops and their friends at other agencies from tracking ex-partners or future dates.

At what point do we publicly accept that NZ is deeply corrupt and the only reason why we don’t have a culture of direct payoffs and bribery (that we cite as the evidence for us not being corrupt) is because it’s not needed? The boys club gets what it wants through people playing their social roles.

It's funny. Most Australians proclaim they believe in mateship, a fair go, and helping those in need - progressive values.
Yet, time and time again, they vote for conservative leaning parties that are largely corrupt, self-interested, greedy, petty and spiteful toward immigrants and the poor.

Aotearoa is home to almost 28,000 species found nowhere else on Earth. To fast-track hazardous chemicals in New Zealand — as BusinessNZ is proposing — risks this unique biodiversity, the health of our communities, and our reputation as an exporter.
