Small electric cars and SUVs cause almost the same amount of damage to roads (almost none)

Deaths and injuries is ACC levies

Climate emissions is the ETS

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I want to live in a country where all religions and all ideas can be mocked, criticised, and insulted without fear.

If we lose this argument now, we lose it forever.

This is Britain. We do not have blasphemy laws, and we must not have blasphemy laws.

Burning the Quran is not a crime.

Free speech means protecting the right to offend, including Islam.

More politicians should have the courage to say so.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

@AdnanHussainMP Of course it does. It means protecting the right to offend anyone.

@elonmusk Would you like to clarify how you think Ukraine has “gone too far” in defending their own country?

[Winston Peters @winstonpeters]

It seems the Maori Party have sent this letter to all companies who have applied for fast track consideration.

If true, they have shown what extremist economic morons they are and how little they value the future of our country.

They have threatened these private companies with economic sabotage and condemning New Zealand to a bankrupt future - all because of their delusional and separatist views.

This is a party who wants to be in cabinet deciding your future.

Paul Goldsmith to announce a Fair Mapping Bill that would force Google to compensate NZ paper map companies because nobody buys their map books anymore.

🇮🇳 has played home Test series of three or more games since 1933.

91 years & 65 series later, they’ve been whitewashed for the very first time.

This is by far the greatest achievement in @BLACKCAPS history & one of most remarkable Test series performances by any side full stop.

[Economissive @Economissive]

This enormous Tom Latham devoured them all

[Tom Holland @holland_tom]

Amazing. One of the greatest upsets in the entire history of cricket - maybe even sport full stop.

Structural engineer. Have designed these. Critical demand is generally fatigue, and at the line of the tower circumference. Very hard to imagine reusing for a bigger tower

FURIOUS.
Blake Miller pleaded guilty to “extremely serious” sexual charges against 11yo girl.
He'll serve 10 months’ home detention & not be on national sex offender register.

Public service must be secular. It should be respectful of the many religious beliefs of Kiwis but this is unacceptable.
“Karakia” tends to be a mix of te Ao Māori & Christianity. Why should Kiwis be expected to incorporate a religion that’s not theirs into their work day?
