  • Labour vows to put $20-a-week cap on public transport, $10 outside main centres

  • Free public transport is what Qiulae Wong (The Opportunity Party leader) said in the interview below.

    I guess it makes sense since the public already subsidises roughly 90% of the entire network?

    Edit: Small correction. TOP says free public transport. What Labour announced is $20 cap. Not quite the same.

  • Very underrated IMO. It has been a while since I last used it but I recall it was super light and snappy - even compared to other more well-known lightweight alternatives. It was definitely a pleasant experience. Happy to see it still going strong.

  • Thanks for sharing. I wasn’t aware. Also, TIL Hbomberguy.

    The fact that people view housing as an investment opportunity is a policy failure; there are tax incentives among other things. The system only stays afloat if there’s a constant influx of new people joining, and we all know there’s a name for it - Ponzi.

    When a Housing Boom Turns to Bust (Patrick Boyle)

    Now, if you live in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom, you might be wondering why you should care about the real estate market on an island in the South Pacific. The answer is that New Zealand is basically a laboratory for what happens when an entire national economy is built on the assumption that house prices will just go up forever. It turns out that trading the same increasingly expensive boarded up bungalows back and forth with your neighbours does not actually generate any real wealth. You might ask how an economy gets into this position. The answer, as is so often the case, involves politicians. (~02:00)

  • I think Chlöe is right. Unfortunately not surprising.

    Unfortunately, things will get worse before they get better. Hang tight, support each other, and be kind.
