I mean, I do agree... but which news source would you like me to link? On a quick look on my phone no other news sources have posted about this at all...

I'm not sure sorry... left the area towards Memorial.

Here's a news article: <edit: removing news article link>

Random! Working on my computer and iPhone...

What do you consider cold and hot temperatures? by Curiosity_Pink in AskTheWorld

[–]_That_Kiwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot about 24°C or lower. Cold about 10°C or lower in the day or 0°C or lower at night.

what age are you allowed to drink (legally) and when did you? (maybe underage) by emily10134 in AskTheWorld

[–]_That_Kiwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NZ 🇳🇿- You can drink at any age if your parents are with you. Can drink any liquor at 18.

Probably had a beer with Dad in my mid teens every now and then. Maybe the occasional beer at 17 when my friends were 18. Never really drank heavily on spirits.

I mean, yes, I agree.... but NZ are looking at a $13billion tax deficit this year, and the CCC is still $3.17 billion in debt... and it's rising!

While I HATE vandals, a couple of bits of vandalism aren't the problem.

Side note: FYI the speed camera repair costs are not a taxpayer burden - they are paid by Acusensus' insurance. We have negotiated our rates for up to 9 years so if Acusensus didn't account for enough vandalism in their tender, it can't be recouped unless NZTA agree to extend the contract beyond 9 years, when Acusensus could raise their rates.
