Is it the USA?

Do I win a prize?

I’m not familiar with this “serving papers” thing. Can someone ELI5 (and not American)?

What’s the legal aspect of having to physically give someone some documents?

Pilot from Farscape

Pretty sure it’s Fortunate Son.

Good.

That the animal welfare minister was pushing for live exports is disgusting.

It just shows the level of corruption in parliament.

It’s “interference” from the (fascist) executive’s point of view.

It’s oversight from Congress’ point of view, and by extension the people it represents.

Having said that, that article should have done better.

Yes, like a normal person 😉

He doesn’t care.

Saved you a click.

Betteridge’s law of headlines: no.

I think that was this one :-(

Of course they are, this isn’t even the first time this government has simply redefined X so they can claim X is better.

I can’t for the life of me remember what it was though. Maybe a crime statistic?

I am actually unsure how much influence the government has on Stats NZ. But that also jogs a memory of gross interference.

Fascist pig oinks fascist nonsense.

For extra hilarity my phone autocorrected fascist to David.

Assuming there are no bike lanes, it should just be maths.

If the number of fatalities in car-bike collisions is more than the number of pedestrian-bike collisions then bike belong on the footpath.

This could be weighted by severity of injury instead of fatalities.

If there are bike lanes and scooters, then the matrix is just slightly larger but the maths still holds.

The point is to minimize, find the optimal solution rather than try to find the unrealistic perfect solution.

It’d be news-worthy if it wasn’t bots.

penalty being free housing (jail),

Watch as more homeless people exploit* this loophole. 90 days in jail is way better than being homeless in winter.

* it’d be cheaper and more humane to just house these people

That kind of the point. They want to get these super vulnerable people out of the area that they live and work in, where they go they don’t care, as long as it’s out of their sight.

Good thing he doesn’t have a peanut farm.

You, All NActF’s mates have all got their property developments approved and now can pull the ladder up after them.

“he’s got a gun”

Bang bang bang.

He’s not kept a promise (or oath, or contract, or equivalent) either.
