My own snapshot:
Cop: (laughing) aw, mate! You!
Hikoi-marcher: (lalso laughing) Eeh, man. Howzit?
Cop: (grinning, raising eyebrows) Sweet. Yeah.
Hikoi-marcher: Hey! What happened to the warriors in the weekend?
Cop: Ha ha ha. Couldn't believe it, man. Don't blame me.In my experience, English language does not contain the coloquialism: "as threatening as a couple of guys discussing a sports team."

Tim: yeah, just took off on my lunch break to join in the hikoi. Good crowd, nice vibe. Never seen the cops getting on so well with the mob, right down to jokes about the Warriors.
I liked the placard: "we've been feeding all of you for 1,000 years".

Felix: snap.
The person in charge of instructing them will need a legal background to understand and implement the advice received
ScottY: Is that to say that only lawyers can understand lawyers? That sounds like a most expensive and inefficient business model.

Oh, yeah, go the hikoi.

Geez guys, sounds like Russel N's hit a raw nerve. Not like it's about anything important like global warming, civic representation, housing, corruption or sustainability or anything.
Nick I agree spectral politics gets tiresome. But so too does the ruling elite abusing its power. Actional is pure, uncut, outdated, right wing dogma. Labour also clusters policies around predictable left-right criteria (although with notable exceptions like free trade deals and savings plans showed far more flexibility than National, even in opposition).
While the Greens occasionally struggle with the spectrum as a result of a strong contingent of workers' rights champions, these people by no means represent the totality of the party's constituency. Lots of Greenies - perhaps most - yearn for the demise of the left right quagmire you too complain about.
The Greens ar also extremely into that quaint old fashioned concept of fairness. Who would be most likely to join a party with that preoccupation? Most people, after all, are not rich bosses.

Even rank idiots have that right.
Even Rankin idiots.
Oops, wrong thread
Uhhh: Spankin' Rankin?

8 lanes
10 lanes
anyone else see the problem here?
I see it, and I feel it, and it's killing me, and my city.
It's even worse than that. SH16 already needs that upgrade, so any upgrade to accommodate more traffic (from the shore) already seems, ummm, too late. It's never-bleedin' endin'.
Motorways are an addiction. If alcohol causes too many road deaths, just think how many road deaths are cause by ... roads! Okay so now it's nearly time for the drinks trolley.
So all I can say to anyone in Mt Albert is ... get more muscle. Forget your traditional two party election thinking and vote for the guy in the party that will cure our roading addiction.

Fair enough. Me. And others. I'd have thought anyone who wasn't interested would go and find another tree to scratch.

Leaving aside the irrelevant detail of whether or not people living elsewhere give a shit, I just don't get the whole Waterview connection at all.
I get that it will get people from the New Lynn to Dressmart and back fairly smartly. Ok. But the north shore???
Anyone who believes that SH16 has any spare capacity at peak hours has clearly nevery actually driven on the darn thing at those times.
To get from - say - Forrest Hillk to Oranga via Greenhithe and SH16 at peak time? That is a truly vomitorious prospect.
Can someone please enlighten? Joshua?

All I can say to joshua is ... thanks, Jarbury.
All I can say to Craig is ... it matters to us.
All I can say to the mainlanders who were over it before it began, is just be bloody thankful it's us they're doing it to, not you.
Yup, she's a hard road son, finding the perfect media story.
