Our new articulated buses will be able to drop off a maximum of 112 people 8 times an hour. Conversely, four 30 minute car parks will drop off 20 people, twice an hour. So a route 2 bus stop will deliver businesses up to 896 people an hour vs four car parks bringing 40 people an hour. Simple maths.

This sounds like good news.
We’re finally starting to see the results of prioritising water in our budget. Work crews have fixed over 4,000 leaks in the last year. The city also reduced its water consumption by a massive 20 mil litres per day. This is huge news for the Wellington region.

I’m grateful to have witnessed the remarkable life, legacy, & leadership of President Jimmy Carter.

After leaving the Office in 1981, he devoted himself helping build homes for those in need.

As he finds rest & peace, may President Carter's spirit continue to inspire us all.

I don't know how to express how *this* is the economy we all care about. We don't care that corporate profits are up or whatever the stock market is doing. We care that food is becoming more and more unaffordable.

Good reminder of all the stockbro assholes like 3M’s McNerney who ruined American manufacturing. (Similar anssholes like Gary Pruitt also ruined media empires like McClachy).
