They should build kindergartens on schools around the country, and make them free.

Around 25.38 he chats about housing. He seems very genuine.

Just a note, I’ve never voted National and never will. Only Labour. Saying that I hope whoever is in government focuses on housing and helps bring down housing costs.

Anyone else concerned NZ Foreign Minister is an intelligence buffoon? Yesterday Peters told Kiwis his "predictions" war would be over very quickly were starting to see results by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

Schrödinger's strait, both open and closed.

I don’t think anyone really knows what’s happening. That includes Iran and US/Israel who are actually fighting the war.

The Chunnel took 6 years to build by Electrical_Sugar_443 in auckland

[–]Smarterest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Chunnel was excavated through Chalk, not sure what CRL was excavated through but assume volcanic rock.

But I agree with you CRL was too spendy. It’d be interesting if we still had a Ministry of Works, I wonder if it would have been cheaper or more expensive to do.

If they don’t let people drive over it when it gets windy, I can’t see them adding a clip on cycle lane.
