Back in Wellington after a few years in China. Use Twitter to stalk rather than engage.

@MarkHubbard33 @grok I found this one interesting. The wealth disparity in the US is such that the difference between mean and median is huge.

@ClintVSmith @AskingQsNZ I dont think that's right Clint. The numbers are by registration date so the late registrations boost 2024 by 57 and 2025 by 9 which takes the edge of the increase - to below 5. It's still up on those lows of 2022 and 2023 though.

@Economissive Cambridge Terrace is really tricky. The car lane backs up so a car turning from a side street has to use the bus lane to get back into traffic. Cars turning left have to enter the bus lane to get down a side street. The bus lane is open to all traffic at different times and days

@Jonssonnnnn1 @RebeccaJEmm They aren't building unstable infrastructure. They are pulling down a bridge that connects the city to the sea. Keep up.

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@RebeccaJEmm And yet you send the city back 41 years with the City to Sea bridge decision.

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@RebeccaJEmm We need you and your colleagues to fight for the city. Not expensively dismantle it on spurious public safety grounds.

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@RebeccaJEmm The same could be said of much of this city. Why don't you just leave it open? It's not at imminent risk of failure. It survived all the earthquakes we have had. Why is your priority to an unlikely worst case scenario?

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@morganfrnchstgg @RebeccaJEmm Is that the same road that has been under the bridge for the past 41 years?

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@RebeccaJEmm The Wellington City to Sea bridge was opened in 1993 - 41 years ago. It has never blocked an emergency in that time. My rates bill is up 21% and yet you to take away things we value as a city.

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@RebeccaJEmm 7.3 people per 100k die in NZ on NZ roads every year. We all take risks when we choose to drive around. Why not let people decide for themselves of they want to cross the bridge. You are ruining this city.

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@RebeccaJEmm Why would you demolish a perfectly good bridge?

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@danxduran Has the Whanganui River been vaccinated?

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@Tim_Batt A lot of avocado

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@charles_finny I'd be checking @GMortonNZ 's tyres...

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@Simmotravels @KBridgman @KeithQuinn88 Stupid comment. There are more suicides now than ever. No need to personalize it.

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@MattNippert Are you going to release the NZ list? I have friends at MFAT I can mock if they aren't on it.

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@GunControlNZ There was a guy on the news who had to hand in his grandfathers 150 year old pump action .22. Didn’t seem quite right.

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@ChildrensCommNZ @BexGraham Surely you’ve been involved in the policy formation already?

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@just_avocados any idea why my avocado would be flowering in May in Wellington? The useless thing has never fruited, but I keep it for shade and in the hope global warming makes it prolific one day.

[John Lowe @JohnLoweNZ]

@mattsjwallace Hang on...what was your mum doing in the Men’s players lounge? I have questions...
