This week, sewage swept onto the beaches of Wellington and Christchurch as the water management systems failed in both cities.
At the same time the National Party floated their idea for a cap on council rates, the same rates that ostensibly fund those water managements systems.
Last week we also saw the release of a draft decision to decline sea bed mining in the Taranaki bite, a move that had been pushed for by the Green Party.
For this weeks catch up with the Green Party Wire host Manny spoke to MP Ricardo Menéndez March over the rates caps, the infrastructure crisis facing the councils and the draft decision to decline the sea bed mining project in Taranaki.
With the long-delayed opening of the city rail link due to later this year, and the government re-launching their roads of national significance, eyes have turned to a perennial problem. Why do we spend more on building than any other OECD nation yet receive far less bang for buck?
To solve these problems, the government asked the Infrastructure Commission to write a plan that could be the basis for a bipartisan infrastructure pipeline, the National Infrastructure Plan, to give us steady development and perspective on our infrastructure needs and issues.
And this week, the Employment Relations Amendment bill under ACT MP Brooke Van Veldon has reached its final reading before being put into law. It is set to overhaul our employment system, supporters say it will make it easier for contractors to get the arrangements that they want and increase work, critics say it will push workers into more precarious positions with less protections from exploitation.
For this weeks catch up with the Green Party I spoke to MP Ricardo Menéndez March about the National Infrastructure Plan and Employment Relations Amendment Bill.
Tinnies to the ready mi amigos for a crash course in all things Shane Embury...literally! This weeks shows only gone and donned itself as a bloody pub quiz, 'ripper'! Get to know the three heckkkkkkkah magnifico bands playing at most likely THE best gig at our home away from home, The Kings Arms, before she closes her doors and becomes yet ANOTHER set of wanky offices and apartments for smug, trust fund, yuppie scooooooom.
The rules are very simple,
- If you get a question correct you have a drink
- If you get a question wrong you have a double drink
- If I say 'Is that someone at the door?' on a decent blast beat you drink
- If SOMEONE PLAYING AT HOME says 'Is that someone at the door?' at any moment throughout the game everyone has to finish their vessels.
DRINK RESPONSIBLY! GO OUT SAFE! GET HOME SAFE! HAVE FUN!
