Elon Musk’s Boring Co. Accused of Nearly 800 Environmental Violations on Las Vegas Project Nevada could’ve fined the company more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.”

I'm beginning to think Musk might not care about the environment after all...

Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport Pedal power is booming, spinning up a new culture war

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

Hundreds of teens with a health condition, disability may be cut from Jobseeker benefit The government is ending Jobseeker payments to 18- and 19 year olds whose parents earn more than $65,000.

Fucksake. It's quite clear now that they only looked at this benefit policy as political marketing and took no advice on who it would impact – which includes young people with serious health issues and disabilities. Just feckless and cynical. Shame on them. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Faeces thrown at police at Parliament protest Poo was pelted at officers during an early morning operation today to contain the protest at Parliament. The 3.30am operation caught the occupiers off guard with attempts to thwart the plan, resulting...

In 2022, protestors hurled bricks, faeces at police & lit fires. Winston Peters said those protestors just wanted to be "heard" & shook their hands.

This week Peters called the mostly peaceful, law abiding Kiwis outside his home "gutless, spineless, [the] worst" protestors #nzpol

To whom this concerns.
I wish to voice my concern & raise a formal complaint against the words of Ryan Bridge in his interview with Chloe Swarbrick in this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGeLOArDRQY
Dated 7 October 2025, in particular to the 1:10second period where he states 'this is a chick who went out..!
The absolute misogynist characterisation of a woman in the news as a member of the animal kingdom is unbecoming of anyone who wishes to be considered a journalist. Language like that in our public political discourse went out a long time ago. There will be some who say 'it's his job to be provocative, I reject that assertion 100%, given the agressive derogatory nature of the term 'chick'.
I would expect nothing less than an apology for his words, they are disgusting in 2025.
Also could NZ Herald show some leadership & turn off the comments on these highly emotional subjects. The absolute torrent of abuse and hate directed at the leader of the Greens & the Green Party itself is unconscionable, and with NZ Herald leaving them up suggests NZ Herald condones these anonymous cowardly comments.
Yours

Because two things can be true at once:

1) Don't fucking throw stones through Winston Peters' windows. Stupid move on every conceivable front.

2) That doesn't require anyone to sit for civility trolling from a man who is about as credible on that topic as sex advice from Ghislaine Maxwell. #nzpol

Open Letter to Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Our current economic approach is causing real harm. We need to change track

Instead of taking up with the RNZ opinion piece, see that 20 economists from around Aotearoa have written and hand an open letter to the government asking them to change tack in the direction they are leading the economy.

Please share this letter.
