Wow, great title, OP

Go fishieries officers!

I wonder what the fine will be? 2 slices of fuck all due to a promising rugby career or something, no doubt

Shane’s passion for the game will be remembered always. - NZ rugby.

Yuck. When can we get rid of this ridiculous national sport?

I know I'm being overly simplistic but it's part and parcel with so much of the shitty aspects of kiwi culture, I find it revolting

This is great - get it back in the debate again!

I'm disappointed they're treading softly rather than 'leading' things, but I'm consoling myself hoping it's the thin end of the wedge

Sorry for the offensive thumbnail

Quality Dave reference, well done!

And it's a brutal harvest, too - these clowns deserve everything they get.

180x the limit?! That's appalling

I love ACC, it would be good for some of the nightmares of 'not covered' to become covered though. I thought the tone of this was bang-on (along the lines of too many beancounters have eroded it's scope)

TPU have been caught in the past with skewed and misleading questions.

To be fair, that's probably valid for all of the pollsters? But being aligned with the right wing crew certainly seems like its a non-credible result

Oh wow, so it's still unclear whether there anything more than just accusations. What a mess, but I look forward to this playing out.

I really hope it's not a case of shoplifting

This is beautiful!

They did a massive roast on Norway (for being a petrostate) a while ago

I've been looking at our electricity usage and discovered our meter stopped reporting it's usage a few months ago - that really skews things!

I chucked in a manual reading which wasn't too far off their estimate, but I'm irked that 'something' has stopped talking. Gave it a few pokes to see but no new data. On the ph to provider now, jooyyyeeee. Powershop really do have some strangely funky hold music, it's quite enjoyable - pity it's mono and basically 8kHz or whatever the phone lines do to muddy everything!

Also, is it just me or have many of the gentailers stopped publishing their actual rates / seeking new customers?

My son bought a cold home last week which is working it's way through the house. Sucks...

I love that there's some bright sparks tackling this from a different angle!

Policy is one thing buy the more novel approaches the better. Good on them!!

I think I see what their getting at...

I can't even see a Zeeland, clearly the whole thing is another Aussie prank and they should be kicked out for Insubordination

And a shame they slapped an age bracket on footpath pedalling

My team members are already indicating they're back which surprises me.

It was so broadly impacting across companies and locations I thought of would have been really deep in the core routing - but resolved after a couple of hours

while it's great there's robust debate (elsewhere in this thread), gven all the other self-serving things this govt has done, I think we can take this as unlikely to go well for 'the rest of us'...

Unnecessary shopping?? Fuck no!

The last thing I need is more hassle, Christmas carols and horrible shit I really don't need :)

I just can't understand how some shop as a hobby/past-time...

Solid description, you're the greatest, Dave!
