Yeah. In the past AirNZ flew NRT-CHC-AKL so you could avoid the annoying domestic walk at AKL. They decided to centralise everything to an AKL hub. Maybe once they finally upgrade AKL it will be better.
Outrageous Fortune used the name Tutaekuri - outrageous.fandom.com/wiki/Tutaeku...
we are too expensive for them, and then there is the whole Auckland airport int<->domestic hassle when they want to visit the cool places in the South Island
He loves a good postcode lottery
Are they just trying to save the defence force budget by having him serve it in a civilian prison?
Yeah, so much for Brown's comment, "...and hands power back to the people’s elected representatives"
reminds me of Beyonce singing "All the single laksas"
Chris Luxon is the most productive person in New Zealand. It has been reported that he produces enough word salad to feed 40 million people #nzpol

How is possible that 2L vanilla ice cream costs $5.67, but 2L milk costs $4.30? #nz #milk #costofliving #fonterra #profits
why are they dressed like vcarb?
perhaps we could ask him how this improves the economy that he claims to be laser focused on
while we are busy adding lines, maybe the apex isn't the best point. if a driver figures out they are behind at the apex with the new line, can they do anything to give space? no.
Perhaps the line should be at the start of the corner and that is where they have to be ahead?
maybe in the rain it could be a big problem.
but it would give viewers, stewards and drivers a reference where they need to be. I can't imagine drivers can guess if they are ahead or not at an apex they can't see when they are on the outside.
with everyone doing frame-by-frame analysis to decide if max or oscar were ahead at some imaginary line... maybe there is a simpler way?
Why don't they just have white line perpendicular to the apex across the track? #Formula1
The burger pattie will be over cooked though, due to the excess carbon
the new ferries won't have Electric Propulsion like iRex, right?
but maybe can be upgraded in the future, if someone decides to spend money i guess.
none of the huge emissions reductions we were promised then. #nzpol
i don't know if you have to pay 'Jack' if he dies, so maybe that economically viable?
and tell the ports to pay for their stuff, so we don't have to account for it. but what do the ports gain from this? 33% fewer ships - so lower berth fees. sounds great for the port
another war crime
A new supermarket is not going to deliver cheaper prices when we only have two 'competing' businesses

"Mitchell, who returned from a week-long visit to India alongside Luxon on Saturday, said he was briefed on his return but didn’t condemn the delay."
Luxon seems to be blaming Health NZ for not being informed, while ignoring his mate Mitchell. Why are we hearing about this on Tuesday?
Also it seems Police are the ones that misidentified the victim. Have they apologised like Health NZ? Mitchell seems to think as long as they have good intentions everything is ok. #nzpol
yeah, i hope they pit to cool instead of circulate. and maybe after the sprint he will feel better about the circuit.
LAW was P5, VER P3. VER pitted straight away. LAW was on some double cool down, but also had to maintain delta. Tyres didn't cool and he had to go with what he had which was nothing. Maybe next time...
One of my favourite datasets out today - Stats NZ business financial data (used to calculate GDP). Quick 🧵...
This is the total 'NZ Inc' picture (adjusted for inflation).
NZ businesses sold $771 bn of stuff in 2024, spent $539bn on stuff, and $128bn on salaries. Operating profits were $108bn [1/n]
Andrew Bayly isn't climbing to the top of Everest. He is only climbing to Base Camp, to clear his head.
Understandable, as Base Camp is on the shoulder of Everest, or the possibly the upper arm. #nzpol
With all of the people resigning in the past week, I wonder if we missed someone?
Did Luxon resign and forget to tell everyone? #nzpol
Did Luxon just say "if you don't like the police service we provide, the next time someone steals your marmite sandwich you can just perform a citizen's arrest"? #nzpol
Did Luxon just say "For God's Sake, just get a free University education, then leave the country for 30 years, so you can come back and say you are a proud New Zealander that is doing it tough, but is also entititled and sorted." #nzpol
