That it was a good thing that neolithic cultures were colonized, wherever that may have been.

Really? The Sentinelese people are getting MRI's? Thats prime example of non colonized neolithic tribes. Have they achieved trade and cultural exchange?
I watched a Xi speech where he proposed doing just that, but he called it de-colonialising. Wish we had some fluent Chinese speakers on here to tell us if the subtitles are accurate translations, and what he meant by that.

Can he play halfback
A few years ago while driving home from work on the radio they had a piece on the news about an issue with China. I can't which minister it was trying to flex. It was our Ministers statement followed by the Chinese response.
The translation from the Chinese was blunt.
When you are used to politicians trying to be diplomatic or talking in circles it really stood out.

Fantastic roads. A triumph of public infrastructure that couldn’t have happened if every single private landowner objected to public works
So yeah, an abuse of power is bad. But we need to move out of our third world mentality and get behind making our country more liveable and productive otherwise none of us will want to live here anymore
Yep agree on some of that. I suspect though, that "liveable" will be contentious. Liveable to me would be fantastic public transport options, huge investment in e transport and infrastructure, huge investment in rail and coastal shipping.
Moving away from the huge influence of the roading lobby. Note I don't say get rid of cars.
And will say again, we've had 50 years of this at least. The underlying system of that 50 years? Neoliberalism.
What's your thoughts on the proposed legislation then Mike? Given that my focus is on the removal of checks and balances.

We’re actually personally involved with the current PWA because part of the shared access way we own is going to be taken for the new Redoubt Road/Mill Road project. At the stage where we’re still to be told how much of it will be required and then we’ll get told the value.
Whether it’s decided by a department or just minister, once it’s been decided that whatever you own is required, the landowner has little too no chance of fighting it. Pretty much, the only thing you can dispute is the value you’re being offered in compensation.
Large projects will either be being pushed by government policy (and led by the Minister in charge) or by the department. Either way, it would require ministerial sign off anyway. I really can’t see the need for the change in the Act.

‘through the Minister for Land Information (Penk) or the local authority for faster resolution.’
The articles makes a case that the Minister will make judgement on their own cases when clearly 99% will be via the local authority… but let’s ignore that and lose all credibility and call it an attack on democracy
.Let’s get the country moving, out of third world Nimby thinking and not stuck in red tape. Pay fairly but the big picture must come first. The worlds moving faster while our beurocrats somehow manages to move ever slower!
Seems that both National and Labour are getting ready to play the “Blame Game” as to who was responsible for authorizing the killing of protected wildlife, if rumours circulating through the construction industry in Wellington are to be believed.
Labour are going to say the planning for the project began under Key’s government while the Nats are saying that the Ministers who signed off on the killing of kiwi and long tail bats were under Ardern’s government. Either way, the High Court has ruled that government departments and various Minister’s have been wrong how they’ve interpreted the Wildlife Act…..
‘Unlawful’: DoC gave NZTA permission to kill kiwi
Ministerial consent now allows construction to continue, despite the ruling.

Thought it was all a bit quiet regarding Andrew Bayly. Seems he’s gone off to climb Everest rather than answer questions back here surrounding his stepping down
