Can the Green Party’s holy mission survive its fallible disciples?
  • Yeah definitely a different standard, but as the article points out, they try and hold their own MPs to that standard.

    First Kerekere, then Ghahraman, then Tana and now Genter. The Greens' uncompromising posture creates an awful pressure, one that recent events suggest is untenable.

    Someone tried to steal our Subaru in Christchurch
  • Pretty much exactly this. Bit of a hassle really

  • Someone tried to steal our Subaru in Christchurch
  • Actually, yes. Looked like they ate quite a bit. There were half eaten chocolates all over the car.

  • Someone tried to steal our Subaru in Christchurch
  • Yeah, they left quite a mess - it was pretty clean before. Don't know what they were eating but they left it everywhere. Admittedly the mud is from me :D

  • Someone tried to steal our Subaru in Christchurch

    We were away for a week and left it on the side of the road. Doesn't look like they were particularly competent, as they ruined the ignition but didn't manage to start it.

    They left quite a mess, bit annoyed to be honest.

    Bombs Away

  • Bombs Away
  • To see how far down you can get.

  • Gertrude Saddle, Fiordland
  • Yeah, it's a tent :D Just a corner of it

  • New Zealand Gear Search Filter
  • Already there! Good suggestions though

  • New Zealand Gear Search Filter
  • Also added Small Planet, which I'd somehow forgotten about :D

  • New Zealand Gear Search Filter
  • Sweet, added! I hadn't seen Aarn packs before, seems like they make some cool stuff!

  • New Zealand Gear Search Filter
  • I wanted results which would prioritise things like fiordlandpacks.nz, cactusoutdoor.co.nz and southernlitepacks.co.nz. As you can see, it was only partially successful but I feel like it's still useful.

    The source for the filter is https://gist.github.com/fallaciousreasoning/c7d10b8db5449fb62b601ddf111003a3 - let me know if you think there are some NZ based sites I should include.

    Search the web privately ...

    Brave Search

    Brave Search released a feature a which lets you customize search results. It's always a bit of a hassle searching for gear which is either made in NZ or ships to NZ, so I had a go at making one which prioritises outdoors gear which is made here (or failing that, is sold here).

    You can test it here

    Disclaimer: I work at Brave, though not on the search team

    Queenstown Lakes property values pass $2 million average for the first time
  • Just not consistently full - definitely people in them, just not all the time. Only time everything is full is the school holidays...

  • Queenstown Lakes property values pass $2 million average for the first time
  • Oh yeah, the only empty houses are all the AirBnBs (at my weekly rent every night) or lock'n'leaves. Probably 2/3rds of my street is empty most of the time. Rentals can't be had for love or money, we got lucky with ours at the end of covid.

  • Queenstown Lakes property values pass $2 million average for the first time
    crux.org.nz Queenstown Lakes property values pass $2 million average for the first time

    New $23m Remarkables chairlift on track for 2024 opening
  • Presumably this is funded by the $15 they charge me every time I drive up the road :D

  • If reversing the ban on live exports is a good idea, why spend $1 million to persuade us?
  • In this case, it isn't the government spending the money though - it's a lobbying group for the agricultural industry.

  • Todd Muller: My friend James Shaw embodies the best of NZ politics
  • Yeah exactly - he made it much easier to take the Greens seriously, and he managed to get a fair bit done. One of my favourite politicians, by far.

    thespinoff.co.nz Todd Muller: My friend James Shaw embodies the best of NZ politics

    The former National Party leader pays tribute to his great pal from the Greens.

    Todd Muller: My friend James Shaw embodies the best of NZ politics

    James Shaw was great! I really like Chloe Swarbrick too, but I feel like Todd Mueller makes some good points about Shaw striving for consensus and working across the aisle. Hope the Greens can keep it after he's gone.
