Lack of sensors, if they didn't get a loud warning they should ground the fleet and retrofit just like reversing sensors on every modern car. Who buys these things ?

Its a scaremongering campaign. That's what the pseudo Fox News press here does

She shouldn't be in government. Entryism allows extremist activists a fast track to the top of a hollow minority party of wealthy libertarians stooges and disproportionate power beyond normal MPs mandate.

It was mostly a smear campaign by Stuff and friends. That's not democratic, its corrupt vote buying by media owners.

I don't have premium access and don't care enough to pay to read reckons like these, but if DC KC can explain why a CGT is "punishing thrift" while taxing the interest paid on a term deposit isn't then she's probably worth whatever hourly rate she charges.

"Punishing thrift"

My bank savings accounts are taxed.

My kiwisaver is taxed.

My wages and super are taxed.

Tell me about "punishing thrift", Ms KC.

Wow the media is really working overtime to pump Luxon's tyres over this international trip. None of them seem to be able to articulate exactly what it is he achieved. Seems like the bar for him is so low that a trip without gaffes is heralded as a triumph.
