Jokes about Hamilton aside, this kind of sucks.

As someone who lives here it's sad to see and I'll get to pay for it through rates rises too!

Does anyone else think RNZ is being less than impartial about this? They never had anywhere close to the venom this article has in six years of Labour led government.

And they absolutely hate Winston Peters, which is very amusing.

I expected better, to be honest.

There are some... interesting things in this list.

Seymour is gonna make it legal again!

What is up with all the 'threats' all of a sudden? Bomb threats, shooter threats, it went from never to this year it's every couple months. Am I remembering incorrectly?

In case you missed it.

Obviously an unfolding situation so we don't yet know anything about if it's intentional or whatvthe motive may have been if not.

Opponents of the Mt Messenger bypass project in Taranaki have a new beef with Waka Kotahi - the cost of 'Pieday Friday' although the agency is disputing the cost.

They say the staff event - also known as "Whānau Friday" - could cost up to $500,000 over the life of the project. But Waka Kotahi said it would cost about $50,000 and was good for morale.

But New Plymouth Mayor Neil Holdom - a vocal critic of Waka Kotahi's road maintenance programme - had no appetite for that argument. "If you think, what does a good employer working in a reasonable remote site do, and anybody who begrudges someone working hard an $8 pie once a month sounds pretty petty to me.

Holdom said it was a bit rich for opponents of the project, who had cost the country millions of dollars fighting it through the courts, to complain about the cost of the pies.
