At least Vogons could build decent roading that wouldn't need to be ripped up after four years...π
I wonder if it's a Cunning Plan by Vegans to turn us off animal products?!
If so, brilliantly executed.
You know the good kind?
That ain't it.π€’
People will only buy it once π«
NZ butter is awesome. Green green grass.
American butter sometimes isnβt even yellow π¬
I think I'll go with the warning. Hard pass on Yankee butter.

Oh. My. F*****g. God.
Never would I have seen this coming...
This is a PERFECT stage for this blogpost. And yes, I have RECIEPTS.

At this moment in our history, Sophie, practically any suggested solution is a goer. This govt certainly has nothing to offer.
OrbΓ‘n is a populist fascist. The sooner he's voted out and investigated for corruption, the better.
The world needs to stop flirting with populist demogogues.
By the time we get to the election we'll have no ferries, no fuel and insufficient solar power roll out. And the CoC will blame Labour

Things are pretty f****d up when we import... butter.
Coals to Newcastle... ice to Greenland...
Bizarre.

You'd think the iRex debacle wouldve been a salient point...??
The journo concerned, Ethan Manera, has not done his job well.
If this last ferry craps out, it will practically sever a good deal of the link between both islands. Only Bluebridge and air travel will remain.
And with the escalating price of jet fuel... not much hope there.
Now would be a good time to buy shares in StraitNZ,Bluebridge's parent company...
I keep thining that... we're like Uganda under Idi Amin. He did some incredibly dumb things as well...
Good questions. Who knows,maybe a second hand ferry? But even that would take weeks to get here.
If this last remaining ferry develops mechanical problems, it should sign the death knell for this inept govt.
If I were minister willis, i wouldnt be sleeping very well at this point in time.
Strangely, the author of that Herald story makes no mention of the cancelled iRex ferries.
None.
Yup.You've nailed it,Danielle.
A significant portion of voters have elected the dumbest govt since Cook landed,took one look around him and said "Nice place.We'll take it."
It beggars belief how bad things are.
Even the brand new Transmission Gully,only 4 years,old is being dug up & resurfaced.
And here we have it.
Due to Nikki Noboat's gross incompetence, we are down from 3 to 1 ferry.
Had she not cancelled the iRex ferries, we'd have TWO BRAND NEW SHIPS this year.
This incompetence is on her and Luxon.(Date checked.This is a current story.)

Yep, technically youre correct, Dan.

... dividend to help pay for her tax cuts splash in 2024!
One way or another,either through increased GST/Fuel Excise levy and increased Kiwirail ticket-pricing,this govt will GOUGE us.
I'm betting on it.

Fuel prices are on the Up.
People will probably ditch cars for urban rail to save $$$.
Now watch Kiwirail engage in some wanton price gouging and raising fares on urban rail for commuters,even though rail is ELECTRIFIED AND DOESNT RELY ON O'SEAS FUEL!
Why?
'Cos Willis will demand a share...(1)
Yeah, ditto, Caroline!
I couldve put on some spandex tights; called myself "Magnet Man" or somesuch, and gone out crimefighting billionaires and neonazis...π
Yup.
I just reply,
"Naw, still waiting for my magnetic super powers, dammit!!"

"Then nasty politicians like National minister louise upston announce policies to cut "welfare dependency". As if workers at Watties had a say in losing their jobs.
The best louise upston can do is shut up."
It wasnt read out. Too harsh?

I wouldnt give a hoot about anti-vaxxers,but critically their juvenile beliefs in wacko conspiracism woukd clog up our hospitals,esp ICUs.
You can bet their anti-vax cr@p wouldny extend to seeking help from hospitals.
Zero sympathy.

The Covid inquiries will continue until the polling improves.
I look forward to Ms Upston losing her job in November.

Yeah.
Ironic that the Party of Business and sanctity of contracts...*checks notes*... broke a contract with a business.
Now if Labour had done this...π€―
Ah, i hadnt seen that one! Interesting!
