Never said it doesn't need to be fit for purpose. But govts can keep deciding on new benchmarks for what constitutes fit for purpose. People have this idea that owners of rental properties are some kind of fat-cat tycoons.
Also, that $5k will come at least partially from a rent increase.

The gubbernment announced the rental home insulation mandate in 2016. If someone bought an un-insulated property for investment purposes after that time, then it's all on them. They should be getting no sympathy. If someone already had an un-insulated investment property before 2016, then there property already has gained a solid 10% in capital gains and a solid $50 per week in rent increases since 2016, so as DrT said.. extend the mortgage. |

So it turns out that there's no Santa Claus. In other news, Justin Trudeau has been revealed to be just another corrupt politician.

Because smokefree is about eliminating tobacco and ganja free is about allowing marijuana?
We're not eliminating fine particle emissions with smokefree, it's specifically targeting the very expensive, unhealthy addiction of smoking tobacco. A referendum on cannabis is to update our drug laws to stop making criminals out of people who just want to relax with a joint, rather than sip the poison we all love to deny we are addicted to.

Shane Jones is so confusing.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...ectid=12213830 "It's positive. Obviously, it's an addition to New Zealand tourism infrastructure, taking a lot of low-value forest wasteland and converting it to a higher-use and enabling tangata whenua to try to realise some of their settlement assets," Jones said of the twin-course plans." "low-value forest wasteland" "forest wasteland" come again? |

Shane Jones is a wasteland.

My aunty is Mangawhai local and is fighting this hard because the golf course has dammed up rivers that are critical feeding ground for fairy terns endemic to the area. The fish cannot swim up the dam, so no breeding, no food source. Fairy terns are at risk of extinction.

Here we go. "A senior Auckland doctor has been immediately stood down pending an investigation by his employer into vile anti-Islamic rants which were posted on the right-wing blog Whale Oil." "it appears that [the doctor] made these comments two years ago in response to an international incident" I don't agree with what the doctor is saying, but this just reeks of leftie outrage censorship. |

So if you want someone stood down pending an investigation, you just need to contact the Herald "in disgust". Good to know.

So is it leftie outrage, or the NZH mimicking leftie outrage?

In a sense, absolutely. However it's much more worrying if people are acting out of pure nihilism than twisted ideology. You can expose flaw ideologies for what they are. But what fucks does a nihilist give?

If New Zealand really wants to make a change, we might want to consider increasing pressure on China over the Uyghur Muslims and other minorities being held in concentration camps for "re-education".

West Coast rubbish wash-out could be biggest eco-disaster since Rena spill - Forest and Bird
Sounds like the government has been slow off the mark responding to this. I get they've got a few things to juggle right now, but I'm not sure what the Minister for Conservation's got tying them up. Of course, when it comes to climate change "slow off the mark" doesn't begin to cover it...

Aww noes, censorship!
Breach upheld over Kiwi talkback host Heather du Plessis-Allan's Pacific leeches comments Seriously though, here we have an example of a context where a person cannot say whatever they like without consequence. Is this it? Are our hands otherwise tied? Does this go too far already?

"It noted the public condemnation of Ms du Plessis-Allan and acknowledged the Authority's responsibility to reflect the values and attitudes of New Zealand."
There's the main problem. So-called public condemnation. |

Excellent. Her foolish ideas will be exposed to the light and people will start vaccinating their kids again. That's how it works, right?

Climate change denial comes to mind also.
I wonder if tested a fact finder would consider this type of speech crosses some legal threshold where it needs to be restricted to protect public health?

It would come under as a public health issue I would think.
re: freedoms of speech. Hasn't Christopher Hitchens gone over this time and time again? He used the example of David Irving in one of his debates about the need to have free speech despite about abhorrent it might be. |
