@Brydco @PTWindholz @EdKrassen Successfully increased gas prices and incentivised people, companies and countries to shift to more electrification to protect from the risky supply of gas. So, good for climate change response.

@ChrisPenknz Great man for the job.

@Soonie2017 @NZNationalParty Sounds like safe clinical practice to me. It’s not an automatic 12 month script. It’s an option if it is appropriate for each individual patient, based on assessment by their Dr or NP and discussion between the two.

@Mountain_Tui @RichardHills_ Wow! The Hon Lee is being very performative there trying to get a sound bite, rather than actually exploring any real issue.

[Bevan Jenkins 🇳🇿 @BevanJenkins]

@RichardHills_ Yeah it sounds like the costs must be born by the business, so the business will spread that over all customers no matter how they pay - which would include cash and eftpos.

@ChrisPenknz I blame your press secretary/assistant.

@TaxpayersUnion We can’t afford them. No point govt borrowing money for tax cuts… it makes no sense.

[The Future Is Rail @thefutureisrail]

Former ACT Leader, Richard Prebble, said today “The decision to cancel the new rail ferries is a decision to cancel having a railway.”

He said the economic, environmental & social impacts will be profound. The costs greater than the savings.

The sickness benefit has been rolled into the job seeker benefit. Surely this explains some of these numbers?@NZQandA

@thejess_monster @ClintVSmith I’ve been wondering the same, but with all the extra police posted into the region, there is enough staff to respond if victims do report. And clearly if people aren’t reporting, it makes it hard for police to help.
Why do you think victims aren’t reporting?

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

Do you want nurses, doctors, teachers?

@vickymgibson @airwaymuse Great work team!

[Quasars @QU454Rs]

This final season of America has been absolutely amazing. I mean, it starts with an attack on the capital and ends with a new Supreme Court that is actively dismantling democracy? That's some top notch writing! And it perfectly sets up the Civil War miniseries that will follow...

@wakeynz99 @elliotblyth We both know the track gauge.
But the tracks are the same width as they were in 1967, so the speed of train services should still be achievable in 2022.
