What if the vehicle isn't owned by an individual though?

Because they don't know who was driving.

If you're pulled over, you have to present your ID, which is recorded on the ticket, a camera ticket just goes to the registered owner of the vehicle.

Insurance costs for new drivers in the UK are notoriously high, especially young men, to the point where insurance can be more than the cost of the vehicle.

UK and some US states do. Maybe Australia?

Pretty good summary, to be honest.

Your analysis of why Labour lost the election is just way off, I'm afraid.

 

Just keep digging. 🐕🕳️

Seriously though, did this guy think that, if he argues long enough, they would just give up?

Don't they use the same image and style as the billboards they used during the last election? You could make an argument that they are parodying the actual green party billboards.

I don't know how strong that argument would be though.

I think they felt this was something that needed to be brought to the attention of the NZ public?

Given that law and order was a key item last election, and something Nat-Act-NZF were seen as being strong on, probably with good reason, it's a spectacular own goal for one of their MPs to be making these statements. Especially considering how dodgy parts of Wellington feel some days.

I find this frustrating, because I'm someone that works for wages, and spends as much time as possible in the outdoors, so I should be supporting either Labour or Green, but neither party really appeals to me right now.

Realistically, a vote for Labour is a vote for a Labour-Green coalition, so it's a viable concern.

And they just cannot stop fucking up. I think Labour is taking a step to the left and trying to take some of their support with policies like a CGT.

Honestly, if you were careful with your phrasing, you probably could.

ACT are in favour of less health and safety regulations in the building industry, for example.

 

Defunding the police is not Green Party policy. At a panel last month Paul said police resources could be used more productively, and suggested other agencies and organisations were better placed to take on some of police's functions.

I can only imagine there would be a transfer of funding to those organisations at the same time, surely?

It also doesn't say anything good about the helm and autopilot system that nobody noticed it was off.

In virtually any other similar system, human input will override the system. That's how it works in vehicles, that's how it works in aircraft, I'd have expected there to at least be an alarm that the autopilot was engaged.

Virgin are working on a system where a high altitude aircraft will deploy a rocket, and a similar system was developed using an F-14 as a launch vehicle.

I'm not away of a single stage system doing this before now though.

 

This is actually very reasonable, rail enabled, bigger than what we currently have, but not the absolute monsters that were planned.

I wonder if the ability to operate fully under electrical power for part of the crossing has been retained?

 

So, uhh, has the word "bussy" ever meant something other than "boy pussy", I.E ass?

According to screenshots posted to social media, the account posted a photo of Doyle and a child with the caption: “bussy galore”.

What were they thinking?

 

Good grief.

 

We'll get around to it.

Seriously though, what is wrong with our governments? Why do they wait until we have a crisis before they do anything?

 

Some good news for once, $3k a year is a massive chunk of change.

 

God I wish he'd stop saying woke every sentence. He sounds like a complete and utter fool.

Also, great seeing him on the back foot like this.

 

This is quite a strange one for me, the content that was shared was created by the new wife and uploaded to OnlyFans herself, it was there to be found already.

I'm quite surprised this is considered such a serious act.

 

Given that it's extremely rare to have a single term government in NZ, to be polling behind the opposition not even half way through your term is a dramatic swing in public opinion.

 

Who hasn't driven off with something on the roof of their car before?

Kinda shows how much attention most drivers are paying though.

 

They don't take responsibility though, that's the problem. I don't think the dude realises just how useless some parents can be.
