I'm fairly certain that the Cabinet decision not to provide a rescue vessel for the Cook Strait will be a case study in future textbooks on risk assessment and mitigation.
NZ government peers over cliff, having pointlessly delayed new fence at top, now opts to cancel ambulance at bottom…

“Our ferries are old and break down often”
“So you’ve got big tugs?”
“Minister of Transport just cancelled the tug. Said it wasn’t needed”
“Oh I guess the water is pretty calm”
“Rough as guts. Sunk a ferry once.

The dual-drive setup is 😙🤌
Mr. Eric Jewell of Finchley, London, was fed up with queueing for buses with tired children, so he built a "quinticycle" and the family are all happy as they travel around together. August 08, 1950.
Luv, we don't need no bloomin' car!

Wore my brother's hand-me-down mustard coloured double-breasted suit to an interview at IBM and the interviewer was so impressed by my audacity that he gave me the job!
That was three decades ago. Been in IT sales ever since.

Some Labour supporters keep telling us to give Hipkins time, or that he's good actually who just seem *pretty* quiet about criticising Hipkins and Labour publicly on issues like trans rights EVEN THOUGH we know he took advice from Starmer
And now we're getting headlines like this. Maybe step up 🤷♀️
