• The hypocrisy of Labour!

    From John Bowes@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jun 15 20:59:55 2023
    Funny how their attitude changes when they're in power! Seven years ago the feral Mallard called it the Holiday Highway. Now Labour have lined up to cut the ribbon on a highway that can't be used by the public yet. Porangi sounds like a good word for
    this situation...

    My question is: How many tons of CO2 was produced by this event?

    The photo looks really funny as the ribbon only goes half way across the
    road and at a diagonal at that.

    This for a road which the WKNZ (LTNZ) has no opening date for. A billion $
    of taypers money just sitting there not earning it keep.

    So nothing than a photo oppotunity, ego feeding for those involved.
