Aside from the fact that he hasn’t met his obligations to his tenant, by the sounds of it, what sort of processes were followed in the failed development of the section? Sounds bizarre.

My guess is that it’s cheaper accommodation that is within easy travelling distance of Wellington, where accommodation has been expensive and harder to find in my experience.

This government is depressing.

NCEA has always had literacy and numeracy requirements to gain the final qualification. The difference now is that the assessment of these requirements have changed whereas before if you did okay in one of the liberal arts and Maths or Science you probably had the requirements without really trying. I personally like the fact that it is a little more rigorous now.

My son was in NICU. I thought of his time in hospital as soon as the news about the Palestinian hospital broke. This is terrible.

This is an opinion piece, not a news report, which is why it is called ‘analysis’. I found the tone tongue in cheek rather than venomous, but I respect your interpretation.

Guess I had trouble parsing that sentence in the article. Makes sense.

This seems like a key infrastructure issue to sort out. Didn’t realise that we don’t own our ferries!

Am I right in thinking that modifying a circuit by moving the white line is unprecedented? In Indy 2005 they refused to make changes to the track (not that I can think of any that would have worked in that situation).

It seems like a safe solution to a situation that shouldn’t have arisen, though.

Great to see. This lad is going places.

Yeah, healthcare with its heavy staff shortages is an ideal industry for some AI help. The ethical concerns involved present a high barrier to implementation though, I think.

 

I wonder when NZ will move away from the quasi-free-market-but-funded-by-the-government system in health (and education). It leads to outcomes like this which are clearly inefficient. I’d like to see more centralisation.

I guess this means that we’re going to see an F1 race in Vegas every year to justify this investment by Liberty.
