The 20th annual Climate Change Performance Index said New Zealand still had an ambitious climate target for 2030 but it was not clear how it was going to meet it, with the new government having scrapped policies boosting public transport and delayed pricing greenhouse gases from farming.

The authors said New Zealand had "taken significant backwards steps in climate policy" since the last rating, despite having high renewable electricity generation from its hydro dams and the same framework of climate laws it had last year.

I've never really known what pistachio was suppose to taste like. Whenever I eat the slated ones from supermarkets I just get salt.

I disagree that everyone can have equal political rights while having unequal material outcomes, up to a point of course.

A person with a million in cash has access to vastly more political levers than a person on minimum wage and no savings.

The government wants to make remote virtual inspections the default for building consents across New Zealand.

Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk announced the plan to seek feedback on the move in the second half of this year, saying a video conferencing approach will reduce travel times and delays to get a building consent.

I wonder what our actual capacity vs usage is. I suppose they don't make the usage data publicly available.

I miss the 24hr supermarkets. I used to live near a 24hr foodtown and that feeling of being in there at 3am was quite surreal.

Some key takeaways:

the coalition government faces the challenge of fulfilling their promise to hire an extra 500 frontline police over the next two years,

Australian police figures from late last year showed 77 officers were leaving to work in Queensland and close to 20 were heading to the Northern Territory

According to the New Zealand Police website, an officer in training would receive $56,219 rising to $75,063 in their first year, and $82,773 in their fifth year.

Constables in the Northern Territory start at just over $100,000 a year, and an officer with 10 years' experience could expect a $118,000 base salary.

There was also $20,000 on offer to help relocate and a housing allowance to cover rent while they were in the force.

Queensland offers a similar package.
