Yep my wife drives a $4000 leaf to-and-from the train station as part of her daily commute. We charge it with solar. No brainer

Wonder how much of this is due to Ben Kepes loudly and proudly defending Israel's actions in Gaza?

No sympathy from me.

I see there are now more gang members than police officers. But we banned gang patches right?

Did the Ostrich Theory of Crime not work? I'm shocked #nzpol

@jiripolasek.com any way to make this kind of input trigger the unit converter extension you made?

The Trump years were dark. But in little NZ they never lost hope. For NZ had a leader of rare and inspiring character.
In the face of endless climate disaster and economic implosion, he always had just the right uplifting words:
"Welcome to IKEA"
"Welcome to State of Origin"
"Check out my Spotify"

At least it isn't taxed though, that's the most important thing

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

It's just such a no-brainer. Renewable energy is cheaper and safer.

Spend the $1b for LNG on a grid-scale batteries instead.

Pam Bondi loves dogs. Always had them, one after another. She got involved with dog shelters and dog rescue, and once pulled off to the side of a busy road and got out of her car to chase down a stray. Another dog she helped was a Saint Bernard named Master Tank. She adopted him from a shelter after he was lost during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, not long after her own Saint Bernard had died. The story has been told but bears repeating. Master Tank belonged to Steve and Dorreen Couture and their grandson, who was 4, recovering from the murder-suicide of his parents and losing his dog during the storm. Bondi said the dog was a β€œwalking skeleton” and β€œdying from heartworms” when she adopted him. The Coutures eventually tracked down Master Tank, but instead of giving him back, Bondi hired a lawyer, who accused the Coutures of abusing the dog, which Bondi had renamed Noah. β€œShe lied,” Dorreen told a Palm Beach Post columnist years later. β€œMy little grandson begged her to take the dog home, and she refused. She thought she would just wear us down. That we were unstable people and would just quit.” The case was settled out of court, with Bondi securing visitation rights, but she never did visit. She got another dog.

My pocket theory on this is that they're saving it for an election year to whip everyone into a fever about lockdowns again and try to use that to get re-elected

"The government has announced a surprise review of the Reserve Bank's actions during the Covid-19 pandemic - and it's due to land just months out from the election."

And the doctored Royal Commission inquiry to land any day now. Excellent timing, Brooke.
