Nice.

On the Road to Zero point. The only way to reduce crashes to a near zero quantity is to reduce the number of cars and car trips. Which can only be achieved by providing viable alternatives to driving. Which would ideally be intercity, regional, and city trains that don't just cater to the 9-5 work day commuter.

I'd love to see it but it would require both Labour and National to be fewer than 30 seats each (to be less than half of house between them). But that could still allow one of them + partner party. So really, fewer than 20 seats each and ~5-8 parties in parliament.

oh you've got a private variable that I want to use? No worries, (foo as any)['secret'].

tbh I don't care.

But there's no mention of any sort of time limits on Auckland Council's website about their cemeteries. Only one is an exclusive right prior to burial over use of the plot of 60 years which is intended to allow people to reserve a plot near family members.

But it appears correct to assume a burial has no specific term length and doesn't expire. Disinterment after even 100 years not being a standard procedure. That said, the country is only about 200 years old.

There are places in the world with a standard practice of forever plots.

For example, I don't think it's common in NZ for plots to be a time period before disinterment.

It's an abundant resource curse; land is the resource that is wasted.

I've never been at a voting place with a sausage sizzle.

Then again, I've always worked at a voting place (except this year because children).

Pretty sure it's all the other dropped balls they tried or barely tried to juggle.

Like student dorms, separated by party affiliation? Or current standard Kāinga Ora units?

Same but 2 weeks instead of a year.
