Odd isn’t it? At first I thought there was something up:
He also faces counts of …, injuring a police dog, …
.and then they soften the whole thing
The police said in a statement neither the victim nor police dog required attention for any injuries.
And then they follow it with:
However the man was treated in hospital after being bitten by the dog during the arrest.
Maybe my comprehension has gone to shit?
That rain sounds epic - so bad it’s amazing sorta thing
Wow, that seems like a dicey period to have been on a road trip - we had some shithouse weather, didn’t we?
Damn, that’s lovely
Great take, as usual!
I hadn’t thought of how they’re traditionally funded. In this case however Makanto is supplying their own scientists as hidden authors, which seems a bit more shafy
the US EPA leans heavily on unpublished studies commissioned by the manufacturer itself
…wow!!
I’m not sure whos winning here, at least the dicks are coming together
We dodged the weather madness with a planned trip to Whangarei - still cold but dodging the winds has been amazing.
Tiny plane from AKL to Whangarei, absolutely chockers and some cheeky mongrel let’s off a real stinker while its oppressively hot? Well played…
No one made their apologies for it, unsurprisingly
But that’s ridiculous - you’re so well connected by that stage that the world is your oyster… There’s no way your career is over (sure, it might not be so famous or might not be an upgrade)
And yet they still keep selling out (see smoking legislation changes, mining in nature reserves etc).
Sorry for the offensive thumbnail
Yeah, do it!
I think I’m leaning towards this
…naahh it’s too busy for a icon. We could blow it out to a banner, maybe?
I kinda like it, but mostly cos it looks so different and wonky.
I have no skills to offer graphically, however
Yay, a subscribe/paywall - thanks for giving the gist!
I guess Auckland and parliament really focus on themselves…
I’m not sue what to make of all this but when I see quotes like:
Turner says: “If we had to go through a normal consenting process, they just take so long, they’re so expensive, a project like this would really struggle.”
I can’t help but think of my teenagers whining when they don’t want to do a chore properly.
We have rules and processes for good reasons, it’s frustrating when it seems to be ‘cool’ to throw all this away because it’s inconvenient
I’m kinda shocked that a 7.5 ton car can be driven by anyone, but I guess a big part of that is the stupid trucks people keep buying
And a shame they slapped an age bracket on footpath pedalling
God damn that’s brazen…
Man this coalition has been incredible - what a wild ride this govt has been!
Yeah… I’m hoping chippy can play this well. He seems to be handling things well so far (and the greens have had really strong media time lately).
Hopefully we don’t have another resurgence of the ‘foot in mouth’ faux pas that the greens were doing so spectacularly ~18 months ago
